Open Source Android Libraries

Leaflet is a leading open source JavaScript library for creating interactive, mobile-friendly maps. Leaflet is light at just about 38 KB, but is already fully equipped with all the mapping features you could need. Leaflet is simple but efficient. It doesn’t try to do everything for everybody, rather it focuses on making the basic things work perfectly. It comes ready with exceptional layering tools, customization features such as pure CSS3 popups and controls, map controls and more right out of the box, and works on all major desktop and mobile platforms. Leaflet also comes with a range of interaction features, and can be extended with an abundance of great plugins.

OpenLayers makes it easy to put a dynamic map in any web page. It can display map tiles, vector data and markers loaded from any source. OpenLayers has been developed to further the use of geographic information of all kinds. It is completely free, Open Source JavaScript, released under the 2-clause BSD License (also known as the FreeBSD). Pull tiles from OSM, Bing, MapBox, Stamen, and any other XYZ source you can find. OGC mapping services and untiled layers also supported. Render vector data from GeoJSON, TopoJSON, KML, GML, Mapbox vector tiles, and other formats. Leverages Canvas 2D, WebGL, and all the latest greatness from HTML5. Mobile support out of the box. Build lightweight custom profiles with just the components you need. Style your map controls with straight-forward CSS. Hook into different levels of the API or use 3rd party libraries to customize and extend functionality.

Interactive, thoroughly customizable maps in native Android, iOS, macOS, Node.js, and Qt applications, powered by vector tiles and OpenGL. A C++ library that powers customizable vector maps in native applications on multiple platforms by taking stylesheets that conform to the Mapbox Style Specification, applying them to vector tiles that conform to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification, and rendering them using OpenGL or Metal. To embed interactive maps into a native application using a platform-specific language, install the Mapbox Maps SDK. We use CMake to build Mapbox GL Native for various platforms, including Linux, Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. The provided command, executed from the root of this repository tree, will build Mapbox GL Native targeting your host architecture given that you have all the dependencies installed and run the example app.
