The Azure Maps Android SDK is a vector map library for Android. This article guides you through the processes of installing the Azure Maps Android SDK and loading a map.PrerequisitesCreate an Azure Maps account
To complete the procedures in this article, you first need to create an Azure Maps account in the S1 pricing tier.Download Android Studio
Download Android Studio and create a project with an empty activity before you install the Azure Maps Android SDK. You can download Android Studio for free from Google.Create a project in Android Studio
First, create a new project with an empty activity. Complete these steps to create an Android Studio project:
*Under Choose your project, select Phone and Tablet. Your application will run on this form factor.
*On the Phone and Tablet tab, select Empty Activity, and then select Next.
*Under Configure your project, select API 21: Android 5.0.0 (Lollipop) as the minimum SDK. This is the earliest version supported by the Azure Maps Android SDK.
*Accept the default Activity Name and Layout Name and select Finish.
See the Android Studio documentation for more help with installing Android Studio and creating a new project.Set up a virtual device
Android Studio lets you set up a virtual Android device on your computer. Doing so can help you test your application during development. To set up a virtual device, select the Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager icon in the upper-right corner of your project screen, and then select Create Virtual Device. You can also get to the AVD Manager by selecting Tools > Android > AVD Manager from the toolbar. In the Phones category, select Nexus 5X, and then select Next.
You can learn more about setting up an AVD in the Android Studio documentation.Install the Azure Maps Android SDK
The next step in building your application is to install the Azure Maps Android SDK. Complete these steps to install the SDK:
*
Open the top-level build.gradle file and add the following code to the all projects, repositories block section:
*
Update your app/build.gradle and add the following code to it:
*
Make sure that your project's minSdkVersion is at API 21 or higher.
*
Add the following code to the Android section:
*
Update your dependencies block and add a new implementation dependency line for the latest Azure Maps Android SDK:
Note
The Azure Maps Android SDK is regularly being upgraded and enhanced. You can see the Getting started with Android map control documentation, to get the latest Azure Maps implementation version number. Also, you can set the version number from “0.2” to “0+” to have it always point to the latest version.
*
Edit res > layout > activity_main.xml and replace it with the code:
*
In the MainActivity.java file you will need to:
*add imports for the Azure Maps SDK
*set your Azure Maps authentication information
*get the map control instance in the onCreate method
Setting the authentication information on the AzureMaps class globally using the setSubscriptionKey or setAadProperties methods makes it so you won’t have to add your authentication information on every view.
The map control contains its own lifecycle methods for managing Android's OpenGL lifecycle, which must be called directly from the containing Activity. In order for your app to correctly, call the map control's lifecycle methods, you must override the following lifecycle methods in the Activity that contains the map control and call the respective map control method.
*onCreate(Bundle)
*onStart()
*onResume()
*onPause()
*onStop()
*onDestroy()
*onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)
*onLowMemory()
Edit the MainActivity.java file as follows:Import classes
After you complete the preceding steps, you'll probably get warnings from Android Studio about some of the code. To resolve these warnings, import the classes referenced in MainActivity.java.
You can automatically import these classes by selecting Alt+Enter (Option+Return on a Mac).
Select the run button, as shown in the following graphic (or press Control+R on a Mac), to build your application.
Android Studio will take a few seconds to build the application. After the build is complete, you can test your application in the emulated Android device. You should see a map like this one:Localizing the map
The Azure Maps Android SDK provides three different ways of setting the language and regional view of the map. The following code shows how to set the language to French ('fr-FR') and the regional view to 'auto'.
The first option is to pass the language and view regional information into the AzureMaps class using the static setLanguage and setView methods globally. This will set the default language and regional view across all Azure Maps controls loaded in your app.
The second option is to pass the language and view information into the map control XML.
The third option is to programmatically set the language and regional view of the map using the maps setStyle method. This can be done at any time to change the language and regional view of the map.
Here is an example of Azure Maps with the language set to 'fr-FR' and regional view set to 'auto'.
A complete list of supported languages and regional views is documented here.Next steps

In order to store maps on an SD Card on your Android device, it is recommended to use Memory-Map version 2.6.5 or later. Tap Menu, Settings, Help/About to see the version number.
Before you proceed, please think carefully about whether the reliability of map storage is more important for you than the space it occupies. SD Cards are MUCH LESS RELIABLE than internal memory. Many people rely on Memory-Map for critical outdoor navigation, so if reliability is important to you, we strongly recommend storing your maps in internal memory.
Changing the Storage location for map downloads
*In the Maps list, tap the Menu button (three dots), Map Storage.
*If you have a suitable SD Card installed, one of the the options is External SD Card.
*After you have selected this option, tap My Online Maps and Maps Everywhere. The map list now displays all the downloadable maps that you have purchased.
*Any maps you download now, will be placed on the SD card.
There is no limit to the size of the map, as long as you have space on the card. Note that turning on the External SD Card option does not have any effect on maps that you have already opened. A map that is partially downloaded in internal memory will continue to be downloaded to internal memory. It is best to delete any maps that you have already partially downloaded and then start a fresh copy on the SD Card.
Copying Maps from PC
We do not recommend copying maps to the SD Card if they can be downloaded from the Digital Map Store, as above. The app uses a new file format designed specifically for SD Cards, so that is the best way to do it.
If you have some maps in the Memory-Map PC app that are not available for download, then proceed as follows:
*First, check that the Map Storage, External SD Card option appears in the Map Storage menu. If not, you can't use the SD Card, but you can copy the maps to internal memory.
*Close the Memory-Map Android app
*Clear the Memory-Map all from the running apps list (swipe up the home button, then swipe away the app, or press and hold the power button to power-off the phone)
*On a PC identify the files to copy. Maps are typically installed in the C:Maps folder. The files you want to copy will have the *.qct, *.qc3 and *.mmi file extensions. The file type may be displayed on your PC as 'Memory-Map QuickChart'. *.qed files are not required.
*Check the size of the files. SD Cards are typically limited to 4GB max file file size.
Copying Maps from PC to Internal Memory
*Connect your phone to the PC with a USB cable and choose the option to allow file access
*In Windows Explorer, open the connected device > Download > Memory-Map. This folder already exists if you have opened the app. Do not create a new Download or a new Memory-Map folder.
*Copy the files to this folder
*Disconnect your phone.
*After disconnecting the phone, we recommend power-cycling again. Press-and-hold the power button.
Copying Maps from PC to SD Card
*Mount the SD card on your PC (either connect the device to the PC with the USB cable, and select the option to access files, or power-down your phone, remove the card and use an adaptor to connect it to the PC)
*Create a folder called Download in the root folder of the SD Card.
*Create a folder called Memory-Map in the Download folder.
*The folder names must be entered exactly as shown above. You must use upper case where shown, and a hyphen where shown. If you want to change the capitalization, you have to delete it and start again.
*Copy the files to this folder
*In Windows explorer, right-click on the SD card and Eject. Unplug the phone, or place the card back in the phone.
Finishing up
*Run the Memory-Map app
*Tap the maps button in the toolbar
*Tap Maps on Device and Maps Everywhere. Your maps should appear in the map list (tap any -> arrows to open each section, if they are closed)
Troubleshooting
If the External SD Card option does not appear in the Map Storage menu, there could be several causes.
*The Card is not formatted. Go to the Settings app, look for Storage, and set it up.
*The card is set up as 'Internal'. In this case, it is used by the operating system as an extension to the internal storage, and no special action is needed to use it.
*Your device classifies the card to be 'removable', and not suitable for permanent storage of files by any apps. In this case it is not possible for the Memory-Map app to use it.
We do not recommend copying maps between internal memory and the SD card. The app uses a different format for newly downloaded maps in order to get around the 4GB file size limit. If you have a partially downloaded map in the old format it will stop working if you reach the file system limit.Download Google Map App For Android Phone
NOTE: The information below applies to Memory-Map Android version 2.6.2 or earlier
Android's handling of SD cards is quite complex. Here we explain how to manage your map files on a secondary storage locations.We will break this down into two parts: setting up the SD card, and copying the maps. If you want to copy a map to the device's internal memory, you can skip the section about SD cards.
Setting up the SD card
If you are using Android version 6 or later, we recommend using Adoptable Storage, if your device supports it. This allows you to format the card as an 'Internal' to device. When you do this the card is no longer removable, and you must keep it installed in the device. There are some disadvantages, but this does overcome most of the difficulties associated with using Memory-Map from an SD card. You can copy the maps to the card by plugging the device into a PC.
Always power-off the device or tell the device it to unmount (or eject) the card before you remove an SD Card. This is true for Windows as well as Android. Never just pop out a card without asking the operating system to flush any unsaved data to the card.
If you are using a removable SD card (not adopted as internal), be aware that the maximum file size supported by the card is most likely limited to 4GB. You may be able to format the card with a different file system, but this is not supported on many Android devices. The large seamless topo maps in Memory-Map are up to 30GB in size, and so clearly these are not going to work on a regular FAT32 format SD card. You can use the Memory-Map PC app's 'Export Map Area' feature to export a number of regions, making sure the output is under 4GB.
Note that when incomplete QC3 map file is stored on SD card, the Memory-Map app is not able download more data to add to that map. So make sure you have the complete map or have downloaded the area of map you need on your PC before moving the map files to the SD card.
We recommend creating a folder called 'Download' in the root folder of the card, and creating a folder called 'Memory-Map' within the Download folder. On some devices Memory-Map app is able to automatically find maps stored in the /Download/Memory-Map folder. The folder names are case-sensitive.
Copying the Maps
First make sure you have the free Memory-Map app installed on your Android device (from Google Play Store),
Run the app to initialize the free basemap.
On a PC, maps are typically installed in the C:Maps folder
The files you want to copy will have the *.qct, *.qc3 and *.mmi file extensions. The file type may be displayed on your PC as 'Memory-Map QuickChart'. *.qed files are not required.
The default location for all maps being downloaded from within the app is in the Memory-Map folder which is in the Downloads folder on the device default storage ( /Download/Memory-Map ). This location in the built-in storage is the best place for your maps. If there is enough space in the internal memory, copy the maps from the PC to this folder.
If there is not enough space in the internal memory, copy the maps from the PC to the /Download/Memory-Map folder on the SD card.
There are many ways to copy files from a PC to an Android device or SD card. You can use Windows File Explorer, or a remote access app on the phone... Contact your device supplier if you have problems physically copying the files.Download Maps For Android Phone Free
After copying the files, insert the SD card in the Android device (if you removed it), and reboot the device (press and hold the power button, and Restart)
Did Memory-Map automatically find the maps?Google Map Download For Android Mobile
After rebooting, run the Memory-Map app on the Android device
Tap the Maps button on the toolbar at the top, or tap Menu, Maps
Tap Maps Everywhere.
Tap Map Types, and enable all the listed types.
If the maps now show up in the list, Yea! You have successfully copied the map!Setting the 'map folders' setting so Memory-Map can find your maps.
We have found that changes in the way Android opens files is now just giving the app an internal copy of the map, instead of opening the file in-place. There is, however, a fallback: You can create a text file call 'map_folders.txt' in the internal Download/Memory-Map folder. This file should contain a list of the additional paths that the app should search for maps. When you have created this file, restart the Memory-Map app.
Detailed instructions:
*Close all apps (or press-and-hold power button and restart)
*Install the FX File Explorer app from the Play store (free)
*In FX file explorer, navigate to the folder containing your qct files on the SD card.
*Tap the three dots menu button at top right, and tap the info symbol (top right).
*In the Info page, tap another three dots menu button at top right, and tap Copy Path
*Now, tap the Back button and, still in FX File Explorer, tap the Home button, Download, Memory-Map.
*Tap the Menu (three dots), and Under NEW, tap File.
*enter the file name 'map_folders' and tap Text (the name changes to map_folders.txt) then Done
*This opens the empty file. Tap the Edit icon (pen)
*Tap-and-hold on the empty blue part of the screen and Paste (this enters the full file system path to your qct folder) The path should start with a / and contain a sequence of folder names separated by /. For example '/storage/AAD4-5B25/Download'. It should not end with a /.
*Tap Menu, Save. Back to exit the editor. You now have a text file call 'map_folders.txt' in the internal Download/Memory-Map folder, containing the paths that the app should search for maps.
*Launch Memory-Map (it must have been previously stopped, not just put to sleep)
*Tap Maps, Maps Everywhere, then Map Types, enable all types.

* In FX file explorer, navigate to the folder containing your qct files on the SD card.
*Go up one level and tap-and-hold on the folder containing your qct files.
*Tap Copy at the top
