Google Maps Android API Sample: Adding a Map with a Marker

This sample goes hand in hand with a tutorial for the Google Maps Android API: Adding a Map with a Marker.

Prerequisites

• Android SDK v24
• Latest Android Build Tools
• Android Support Repository

Getting started

This sample uses the Gradle build system.

1. Download the samples by cloning this repository or downloading an archived snapshot. (See the options at the top of the page.)
2. In Android Studio, use "Open an existing Android Studio project". Next select the tutorials/java/MapWithMarker directory that you downloaded
3. If prompted for a gradle configuration, accept the default settings. Alternatively use the gradlew build command to build the project directly.

This demo app requires that you add your own Google Maps API key:

1. Get a Maps API key
2. Create a file in the root directory called secure.properties (this file should NOT be under version control to protect your API key)
3. Add a single line to secure.properties that looks like MAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY, where YOUR_API_KEY is the API key you obtained in the first step
4. Build and run
