The Google Maps Javascript API lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages. Version 3 of this API is especially designed to be faster and more applicable to mobile devices, as well as traditional desktop browser applications.
The API provides a number of utilities for manipulating maps (just like on the http://maps.google.com web page) and adding content to the map through a variety of services, allowing you to create robust maps applications on your website.
The JavaScript Maps API V3 is a free service, available for any web site that is free to consumers. Please see the terms of use for more information.
It's easy to embed WebView, load with HTML using Google Maps JavaScript API v3, in Android App:
Create /assets/simplemap.html, copy from Simple Map example in Google Maps JavaScript API v3, html code with Google Maps JavaScript API v3.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple Map</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
html, body, #map-canvas {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script>
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
Modify /res/layout/activity_main.xml, to add <WebView> in layout.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="http://android-er.blogspot.com/"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:autoLink="web" />
<WebView
android:id="@+id/mybrowser"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
MainActivity.java
package com.example.androidsimplemap;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.webkit.WebView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
WebView myBrowser;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
myBrowser = (WebView)findViewById(R.id.mybrowser);
myBrowser.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/simplemap.html");
myBrowser.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
}
}
Note that, in order for your Activity to access the Internet and load web pages in a WebView, you must add the INTERNET permissions to your Android Manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
