What should I do to work with OSMDroid in Android Studio

Solution

  • osmdroid uses maven for a build system (for time being). The maven android plugin doesn't import correctly with android studio. You may have better luck with intellj. You shouldn't need to import the project into android studio. You really only need to include the dependencies of osmdroid in your project.

    Osmdroid does have gradle build files for the example application to ease development.

    per https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid/wiki/How-to-add-the-osmdroid-library-via-Gradle

    dependencies {
    compile 'org.osmdroid:osmdroid-android:4.4'
    compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.6.1'
}

    You'll also want to consult the wiki on how to use Osmdroid here: https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid/wiki/How-to-use-the-osmdroid-library
