I'm using Google maps V2 in Android. As you know, nowadays Google lets us see floor plans inside some buildings. I'm displaying my position inside my University in a map, but last one only let me see first floor by default (for example if i'm in the second i have to change it manually). I searched in forums and i checked GMaps V2 documentation, but i didnt find any solution..
Do you know any map option, parameter or something else to set the default floor level?
Regards.

I am developing an android application for showing the floor map of a building inside google maps. I know there is Google floor plans, but it only available in selected countries. So I need to customize the google map. I am done a little by using the accepted answer in this link. But unfortunately I cant adjust the boundaries of the tiles here, thats not I needed. I only need to show the custom floor map only above the building i need to show, other area should be like the default Google maps. How can I achieve that?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You could use GroundOverlays, which is a simple image which is shown above the map tiles as you define via geo bounds. See more here
I need to develop an application for Android that uses the Google Maps API.
I the need to use a marker that show me my position and rotation exactly like the one shown in the figure (Link: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sy61Gjk7aKA/Tw2Lo553AiI/AAAAAAAAAVI/oJ7tiGb-lts/s1600/2.jpg).
Is it possible to realize?
I wrote an answer to a similar question: Google Map Heading Marker or Indicator
I haven't tried it in 3D, but there's no reason why it shouldn't work.
How can I use Google maps in Android app so that it only shows my country?
I mean so that the rest of the world is not featured in the application.
Check out one of Mike Williams' great GMaps tutorials - he shows you how to limit zoom and pan in your map.
If you want some areas to be non-visible, you can try this one: I think that's closest to what you want (the example actually does a similar thing to what you want, using USA as the example).
I would like to implement an indoor positioning system on an Android device (galaxy tab)
I have a picture of the map I intend to use. However I am not sure what is the right way to do
this.
I want my application to have some of the abilities of google maps, such as zoom and scroll, and the ability to use overlay items.
However, as I understand, it is not possible to use google maps with a custom map.
What is the right way to do this? Is there a library which enables us to zoom and scroll images/maps?
Can you use the overlay package without google maps? If not, how can you present a location in such a map?
Thanks in advance

Have a look at these two Android apps:
MapCalibrator by Martin Ohlin
Custom Maps by Marlo Teittinen
To develop a full-blown indoor navigation system, have a look at these platforms:

Googling aroud for "indoor positioning" and/or "indoor navigation" you will find many more solutions.
If it was a large location - say a shopping centre - you could possibly map it out in a KML layer and add it to google maps but I'm not sure how well that would work. Google maps does not allow the user to zoom in very far - probably not far enough for your needs if you want to map down to the room level.
Here is a tutorial on "Map your business inside and out".
The google maps API v3 supports "custom maps"
Discussions from the v3 group
one example from a search.
I built my application using Google Maps and it is using:
-BalloonItemizedOverlay
-BalloonOverlayView
-ItemizedOverlay
and what it does:
-Displays multiple points on map, each one clickable and balloon appears with relative text + description.
-Displays and updates the marker/point of user's position.
The only reason I want to switch to Open Street Map is because I would like to use the feature "caching map tiles" (presaving maps) which as far as I have looked it up is not allowed with Google Maps.
Can someone help me convert my application thoroughly to use OSMdroid instead of GoogleMaps? Providing me with some guides (very few support for OSMdroid at the moment...)
I have already looked up a lot of codes but they mostly differ in comparison with Google Maps and I can't seem to get it all right. I have managed to display user's location on the map but adding BalloonItemizedOverlays and so on is a hassle.
Anyway just help me out in any way you can - proposals on how to do it, sites with guides, anything :)
Thanks

I think these two tutorials should get you started with Balloons and Customized Balloons
Itemized overlay with osmdroid is quite easy to use, you should give it a try and you will get the feel of it once you try it our.
