● Display Maps

● Navigation Directions (turn by turn, text to speech)

● Custom Maps & Markers


Demo :)
basic map with markers & navigation
Step 1 : Add permissions

AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />


<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
Step 2 : Add the mapbox sdk to build.gradle

build.gradle (Module: app)

compile ('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-navigation-ui:0.6.1') {
transitive = true
}
compile ('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:5.1.4@aar') {
transitive = true
}
compile 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-services:2.2.6'
Step 3: Add map component to XML

content_main.xml

<Layout….>
<com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.MapView
android:id="@+id/mapView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
mapbox:mapbox_cameraTargetLat="42.40817"
mapbox:mapbox_cameraTargetLng="-71.11375"
mapbox:mapbox_styleUrl="mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v10"
mapbox:mapbox_cameraZoom="14" />
</Layout…>
Step 4 : Initialize map in onCreate

MainActivity.java (onCreate)
Mapbo
Mapbox.getInstance(this, ACCESS_TOKEN);
mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView);
mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Step 5: Add markers
MainActivity.java (onCreate)

mapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
@Override
public void onMapReady(MapboxMap mapboxMap) {
mapboxMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(42.4075, -71.1190))
.title("Tufts University")
.snippet("Welcome jumbos!"));
}
});
Step 6 : Navigate!

AndroidManifest.xml

Position origin = Position.fromCoordinates(-77.03613, 38.90992);


Position destination = Position.fromCoordinates(-77.0365, 38.8977);

NavigationLauncher.startNavigation(MainActivity.this, origin, destination, null, true);


Step 7 : Customize
Step 8: Profit!
