Map Kit

Map Kit is an extensive framework for map development in Android.

Architecture

The library consists of 4 artifacts; maps-core, maps-google, maps-amazon, and maps-huawei.

maps-core artifact provides an extensive framework for map development in Android.

maps-google artifact provides the Google Maps SDK integration to the Map Kit.

maps-amazon artifact provides the Amazon Maps SDK integration to the Map Kit.

maps-huawei artifact provides the HUAWEI Map Kit integration to the Map Kit.

Usage

Migrating from the existing APIs

Limitation

• Models are not Parcelable.
• MapOptions is currently not supported.
• StreetView is currently not supported.

Declaring dependencies

Add the dependencies for the artifacts you need in the build.gradle file for your app or module:

dependencies {
    // Optional - To grant access to the Map Kit API without platform specific implementation
    implementation 'dev.supasintatiyanupanwong.libraries.android.kits.maps:maps-core:2.3.0'

    // To use the Google Maps SDK via Map Kit
    implementation 'dev.supasintatiyanupanwong.libraries.android.kits.maps:maps-google:2.3.0'

    // To use the Amazon Maps SDK via Map Kit
    implementation 'dev.supasintatiyanupanwong.libraries.android.kits.maps:maps-amazon:2.3.0'
    implementation files('amazon-maps-api-v2.aar')

    // To use the HUAWEI Map Kit via Map Kit
    implementation 'dev.supasintatiyanupanwong.libraries.android.kits.maps:maps-huawei:2.3.0'
}

If multiple integration artifacts are included in your final build, the implementation will be selected based on API availability upon application startup.

However, it is possible to separate builds between them as next:

android {
    // ...
    flavorDimensions 'vendor'
    productFlavors {
        google
        amazon { applicationIdSuffix '.amazon' }
        huawei { applicationIdSuffix '.huawei' }
    }
}

dependencies {
    googleImplementation 'dev.supasintatiyanupanwong.libraries.android.kits.maps:maps-google:2.3.0'

    amazonImplementation 'dev.supasintatiyanupanwong.libraries.android.kits.maps:maps-amazon:2.3.0'
    amazonImplementation files('amazon-maps-api-v2.aar')

    huaweiImplementation 'dev.supasintatiyanupanwong.libraries.android.kits.maps:maps-huawei:2.3.0'
}
