Is it possible to display in house map using MapBox in Android?
For example : I am in one mall and I want to know that what are the directions of particular shop in one mall or I want to know that how many shops of cloths are there in one mall using MapBox?
All your answers and suggestions are valuable and appreciable for me.
Looking forward to your reply.
I am using MapBox Android SDK : https://www.mapbox.com/help/first-steps-android-sdk/
Just to clarify, you are trying to create an indoor map using the Mapbox Android SDK correct? If that is the case, you can follow this guide to tracing the indoor map you have and create a tile set. You then can use it within your Android app by following this example.
Hope this helps
Very sort answer is yes it is possible,
For inhouse may you have to create custom geographical area image for particular mall and its floor
Here is some reference for your idea video for concept here is one concept of showing indoor image either by web service or you can also
Create your own drawable image for indoor map

I am trying to create a Location based augmented reality app which plots marker on top of the camera view.
Mose of the libraries and tutorials are outdated and they are 4+ years old also not stable. Below is the link to things which i have tried and failed.

Im trying to create something like below image which is an iOS app developed using HDAugmentedReality which is very stable and does not overlap.
Since i could not find any library I'm planing to use Google Maps, It rotates according to camera with simulates AR. So i am planning to show only the markers and hide the Google Map View. If this is possible i can easily create an Location based AR app..
Is it possible to hide Maps but show Markers or is there any library which i missed? Thanks in advance .
I believe you can't use the Markers without showing it on Maps. The main purpose of it is to identify the location on a map. My suggestion would be for you to use your own custom overlay for the marked items you'll show.
Check out the Sun Surveyor, its not similar to what you'll do, but the idea of overlaying the information seems plausible (as indicated on the tutorial link you provided).
I want to create a custom map for my app.
the things i want are:
it will be a custom map designed by us for a event location(not google map).
all the locations will be displayed on the map like google markers.
just like google map i want users to select a location and get direction from his/her current location to selected destination within that area(my main concern).
Are there any possible solutions to this? Any links, suggestions to start with please let me know.
This is very imp. for me..thank you.
I suggest you look at the OpenStreetMap project. They have all the components you need but it is not going to be a simple task for an area of any size
I want to develop Indoor Position in Android. First of all, I need to create and display an indoor map (floor plan) in Android, then I can carry my own work. However, I do not know how to do that. I found the similar question in StackOverflow Create and display indoor map on Android but unfortunately it still not have any answer. Anyone can give me the solution?
Thanks
do you know how can we create our map and show the ways from a certain locations to destinations ? Without using google map , just using a picture of a map , is there any way to draw routes on it?I am not asking projects or codes , just need some suggestions related to drawings and considering the obstacles in the way ?Thank you
You should have your way points in somewhere(maybe in db or in xml file etc) and also for getting map base you should have a map provider like yahoo, bing, google or openstreetmap(which is free to use - no api key needed considering others)
after having these two sources you can use Geoserver(which is opensource map data manipulater and provider) to put these sources together and get them as map base image.
considering your "just using a picture of a map" is an owerwellming issue. Because you will have to do some calculation to find where to put your points programatically. So Geoserver does that automatically.
also I suggest you to hava a look at osmdroid and osmbonuspack they may help.
I have a Game idea which uses Google Maps data, and I wanna know how I can do this.
The idea is:
A online war game that is based on the localization of the players' phones, which I would use Google Maps to get the cordinates and draw the map on the screen, so I can draw icons on the map (ammo, medicines and etc). And when the player's cordinates meet the item's cordinates it goes to the player, for example.
Simplifying, what I have in mind is: I need to get player's cordinates and map images from Google Maps. How I can do that?
Sorry for the bad english.
Thanks,
Luís Henrique.
I recommend starting with this tutorial.

That will get your feet wet in loading up maps.
Then use this tutorial at the bottom it will reference itemized overlay which will enable you to add all the weapons and respond to events when you click on it.
