Developing an Android app and want to display Google Maps, follow these

steps:

Step 1: Set up your project in Android Studio

1. Create a new Android project in Android Studio or open an existing one.


2. Add Google Maps dependency:
o Open the build.gradle (Module: app) file.
o Add the following dependency to the dependencies block:
Implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:18.1.0'

3. Enable Google Maps SDK:

 Go to the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com).


 Create a new project or select an existing one.
 Enable the Google Maps Android API for your project.
 Create an API key for your project by going to APIs & Services > Credentials and then
adding a new API key.

4. Add the API Key to your AndroidManifest.xml:

 Open your AndroidManifest.xml file and add the following permission and metadata:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<application
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="@string/google_maps_key"/>
<!-- Other app components -->
</application>
Make sure you replace @string/google_maps_key with your actual API key, or store it in a
resource file (like strings.xml) as recommended.
Step 2: Add the Google Map Fragment

1. In your activity_main.xml (or your layout file), add the Google Map Fragment:
<fragment
android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

2. In your MainActivity.java or MainActivity.kt file, set up the map:


import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {


private GoogleMap mMap;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

// Get the map fragment and notify when the map is ready.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;

// Add a marker at a specific location (e.g., Sydney) and move the camera
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}
}
