Package com.google.android.maps Description

The maps package allows applications to display and control a Google Map interface. To create a Google Map, you must extend MapActivity and implement a MapView in the layout.

In order to use a MapView in your app, you need to include the "android:apiKey" attribute in the MapView (or include a key in the MapView constructor). For now, just put any value there (e.g., "myapikey"). In order to run on actual devices, though, your application will need a real authentication key, but the process for issuing keys is not ready at this time.

Note that this is not a standard package in the Android library. In order to use it, you must add the following XML element, as a child of the application element, in your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
