I wanted to make an app for fun of all the football stadiums in the united states. This is for myself to get familiar with a maps api.
I have a dataset which contains X and Y coordinates for all of the football stadiums in the united states. What technology do I use so that I can imlement this in a map on android? So when I start up my app I can press a button called find closest stadium, it will show a list of the stadiums closest to me (within a specified range), and then if I click the stadium it will show me directions on how to get there.
I can program in android but have no idea how to deal with maps in android
You may want to consider the Google Maps API for Android.
They have pretty good examples on the front page and on their documentation pages.
