I want to make an indoor map. how can i accomplish a real map /webview like scrolling in it?

I am trying to make an indoor map of a hospital , when i click on certain buildings it would open their respective indoor maps and when i select a certain area of their respective floor it would show me further details.How can I achieve this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
P.S I have tried using image view but i can't get the image to scroll freely like a real map or a webview (pinch zoom in/zoom out ,rotation etc).

As you wanted your "floor" to have the behavior of a map you should have look for custom map implementations.
Then you may have found that you can use your own Tile Overlay using a Custom Map Tile Provider as described in Using custom map tiles with Google Map API V2 for Android?
Or if you don't want to use Google, you can look at Open Street Map Android SDK
Ether way you are still responsible for the graphical assets of tile layers. As well as any UI/UX leading to the custom map view.
Alternatively there are third-party libraries for 'deep zoom' of an image which may provide the expected touch behavior like: https://github.com/davemorrissey/subsampling-scale-image-view

You can have rooms as scolling views, with a background view image and buttons where you want to click. Clicking the buttons opens a popup with an image. You can also place transparent buttons on the buildings to have a natural feeling of click to open.
From your question it seems that you don't want to use web view, but you can code a regular html page/web app and use a web view to display it. That way, you only have a screen with a web view to deal with.
Then the possibilities are endless and fun and shifts in the web domain!

Load a fake map on osmdroid map in android

I need overlay an map image on a MapView, which will hide the the real map from the user
when user offline i want to show fake map instead of
Thanks in advance

Besides photoshop, you can put a basic image view on top of the map, but it wouldn't react the same way the map does to touch inputs. Not sure what goal is. If you want offline maps, there's always this

Android custom map with custom image

I want to code a map application in Android(MinSDK=2.1).
But this map will not use any online features.It will be completely offline.
Also this map shows a high definition image which is drawn by me.I must specify points (like buildings,parkings,cafes...etc) and place little Imageviews on these points.
When needed , screen must move any requested point.
So Is there any sdk,library...etc to do this you know ? Or Should I implement myself.Lead the way pls.Thanks for any help...

Add a layer or a background on a mapView

I have a particular need with a mapView and i can't find any good solution.
I have a Mapview with some markers displayed on it, and it works perfectly.
My need is that i want to put a kind of layer/background on the screen, in order to "mask" the map, but i always want to see the markers, and keep all the mapview functionnalities (zoom, move, etc.)
Is there any solution available to do it?
I hope you understand my need.
Many thanks in advance.

Create an overlay that mask (cover) the part of the map that you want to cover. In the onDraw() of this oevrlay just draw something that achive your mask requirements (areas, colors and opacity).
To ensure that markers are always visible, you need to add the overlay with markers after you add the overlay that mask map to the mapView.getOverlays.add().
Enjoy it.

customize Google Maps API

Does anyone know how to:
1) make the Google map not zoom-able? make it so it is at a fixed zoom size and the user cannot change it?
2) have the map API load a picture of my choosing and overlay the little blue dot of the user's current location over it?
Here is what I want to do, I'm want to have a custom picture of the world (that i have created in Photoshop or w/e, it will be .jpeg, .png, or whatever file format will work) the picture of the world will be 'artsy' and I just want the Google maps to overlay the little blue dot of where you are in the world. For example, if you are in New York, NY, you will see the picture of the world with the blue dot over what on the picture is New York.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks

You should be able to control the map as follows:
map = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
map.setBuiltInZoomControls(false);
As for overlaying an image, you'll need to create an image layout file (in XML) and then inflate that over the top of the map. This tutorial shows you the basics of inflating a layout and adding it to an existing view:
http://www.mysamplecode.com/2011/10/android-dynamic-layout-using-xml-add.html
To position the inflated layout (your image), you will need to use LayoutParams (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/LinearLayout.LayoutParams.html) to set the position of the new view on to the map.
Hope that helps.

Regarding you second question: it sounds like you actually want to replace the Google Maps tiles by images you've created yourself. As far as I know, that's not possible with the Maps API. You can potentially hack something together by adding your own creation as overlay to the map, but that may not give your the results you're looking for, especially if you want the user to still be able to pan/drag the map around.
In stead, you might want to take a look at the osmdroid (Open Street Maps for Android) project. They do support loading in your own tiles via the ModularTileProviderArchitecture. It'll probably give you more freedom and flexibility, but might be overkill for what you're after.

I know that OSM is hip and cool, but the OP asked about Google maps — and the question is readily answered in the Google Maps API documentation (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/).
The Google Maps API has supported custom maps for years. I think you can edit their first "ImageMapType" (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes#CustomMapTypes) example to solve your problem.
In your case, you would set the "maxZoom" and "minZoom" fields to whatever zoom you want to create artwork for. Use the "mapOptions" dictionary to take away the zoom control. You'll need to cut your artwork into tiles, and replace their "getTileUrl" function with one that returns your tiled image.
