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 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 am developing an android based application, my application should display nearby locations,
I already used google API to achieve that, but I am facing a problem; which is in my country not all places listed in Google maps, I made my research to solve this problem, I was told to use openstreetmap in order to add places to the map.
could you tell me if it is possible to use openstreetmap and the steps (in general) to do that.
Check my answer in this question open street maps api for android
The three most popular library for using OSM in android are osmdroid, graphhopper, and mapsforge.
Have a look at this Project:

There is a HowTo in the Wiki section.

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.
Okay guys, I am developing an app on Android that uses the Google API to display a map on the screen. I have simple overlays that will display the location of Contacts that the user decides to track. I already know how to use the Mapping and retrieve my own location, but I need to know the best way to get other Users locations.
With the release of Google Latitude's API, this functionality was supposed to be made easy. I cannot find any tutorials or anything on how to implement the API.
Please: If you know any Tutorials or anything of the sort to teach me this, please let me know. Also, if this is not the most efficient way to go about this let me know.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Specs: Eclipse Galileo, Android SDK, Android APIs and Google API
Isn't this what the Google Latitude App already does?

There are also some docs here: http://code.google.com/apis/latitude/v1/getting_started.html
Personally, I'd start by experimenting with the REST API outside of Android to get a sense of how it works.
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.
