initMetaData(this) Error with Bing Satellite View in OSMDroid

Question

I want to display Satellite Tiles from Bing in OSMDroid and have 'osmdroid-third-party-4.3.jar' installed.

The following code is posted over the web to display the Satellite Tiles, but I get always the Error:

'The method initMetaData() in the type BingMapTileSource is not applicable for the arguments' !

/* BING SATELLITE VIEW */
        try{
            BingMapTileSource.initMetaData(this);
          String m_locale =   Locale.getDefault().getDisplayName();
          BingMapTileSource bing = new BingMapTileSource(m_locale);
          bing.setStyle(BingMapTileSource.IMAGERYSET_AERIAL);
          mapView.setTileSource(bing);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
          e.printStackTrace();
        }

Without the Argument 'this' I get the Error:

'The method initMetaData() from the type BingMapTileSource is not visible'

Any Ideas?

How to add Bing maps to osmdroid

Here are step by step instructions. Perhaps someone this will save a lot of time.

1.Add dependency to gradle

compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-android:1.6.1-RC1'
compile 'org.osmdroid:osmdroid-android:4.3'

2.add library osmdroid-third-party from here

OR

add three classes in our project (BingMapTileSource.java, ImageryMetaData.java, ImageryMetaDataResource.java). from here

3.Getting a Bing Maps Key. Instructions here

4.Add the Bing Maps Key to the manifest.

<meta-data android:name="BING_KEY" android:value="ApEqyap8rTa4WTNCNv-3pAGQc7XUsHS6595tuDI3MHR59QlahJ5bqYGYhMYJq6Ae" />

5.The last step. Add map code

        ResourceProxyImpl mResourceProxy = new ResourceProxyImpl(getContext().getApplicationContext());
        MapView mMapView = new MapView(getContext(), 256, mResourceProxy);
        mMapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        mMapView.setMultiTouchControls(true);

        try{
            BingMapTileSource.retrieveBingKey(getContext());
            String m_locale =   Locale.getDefault().getDisplayName();
            BingMapTileSource bing = new BingMapTileSource(m_locale);
            bing.setStyle(BingMapTileSource.IMAGERYSET_AERIAL);
            mMapView.setTileSource(bing);
        }
        catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        mapContent.addView(mMapView);
