Google Maps Android API Demos
These are demos for the Maps SDK for Android and Maps SDK for Android V3 BETA libraries in the Java programming language.
They demonstrate most of the features available in the API.
The Maps SDK for Android samples can be found under the main gradle product
flavor, while the Maps SDK V3 BETA samples can be found under the v3 gradle
product flavor. The active product flavor can be modified through
Android Studio’s “Build Variants” toolbar options.
Pre-requisites
