I'm trying to understand what i'm asking for...
I googled around with no success (of course, starting from official google developer site).
The result i would like achieve is the same behavior official Maps app from Google has, choosing to "make available offline" a part of the map and saving a selected area.
Does anyone know how to do it (if possible)? Can you point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
The Maps V2 API, at this time, does not give us any ability to control offline maps.

Following are the links i got from stackoverflow but not useful.

TileProvider using local tiles
Plese help!!!
See this solution or this one. Basically you just create your own tileprovider and access tiles locally. Totally doable with the v2 api.
API Reference
There's some false information floating around out there that the v2 google maps api requires an internet connection. There was a but where the api would require a single access after app install to verify with Google Play services, but I believe this has been fixed. See this and this
I am trying to make an app which tracks the path of the user. I wish to use the google maps API for this. I know there is a specific "tracking API" but that is deprecated now. I used the tutorial at http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/beginners-guide-location-android but that only shows me my location. It doesn't show how to track.
I tried to use the google developers support documents, but its simply too confusing. I am a beginner, so if someone could just guide me I'd appreciate it. Kindly assume I know JUST the basics.
I tried to implement the google map(android way) into my glass GDK application but It seems like glass does not support that at this moment. Is there anyway I can show a mapview in the gdk application? or do I have to show it through the mirror api map?
P.S
This is what I see when I try to show the map on glass. Any thought?
Pardon the reference to documentation, but read about location on Glass
Google Play Services is not available on Google Glass (at least not yet).
If you need maps, we are testing on google glasses our map API and now is working. Please take a look to:

I've started to develop in Android 2 weeks ago and until now, I like it!
Currently I am working on a project where I have to display an individual map (not a google maps view, I'd like to display the map of a building's interior) with which the user can interact(mark positions, etc.).
Is there a framework or an existing app that I could use? Of course I searched the internet but could not find anything.
Perhaps it is in some way possible to use the google maps API?
I hope you can help me, thanks in advance!
Take a look at OsmDroid project - a very nice replacement of the Android's Google Maps library.
Hope this helps :o)
I was checking out the Google Maps Data API and I was wondering if I can follow their Java Development guide to use it on the Android platform? I want to display routes that I have created on Google Maps on the phone.
Ideally this would be through a MapView but if I need to do it a different way I could.
Thanks,
Rob
EDIT: I feel that my question is probably a little too open ended. I don't completely understand how the Google Data API works with Google Maps. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction but if anyone thinks that this is a bad question let me know so I can delete it.
Yes, you can, several android apps use the Maps Data API (My Tracks, for instance). However, you'll need to parse the KML returned from the maps data and then write code to add it to MapView manually.
