Import mapsforge in an Android project using gradle

[Jones]

Hi,

I am new to mapsforge, and I wanted to build the simple HelloWorld sample that I found on the wiki. I first included mapsforge-android to my build.gradle with the following line:

compile 'org.mapsforge:mapsforge-map-android:0.4.3'

  

But then, I simply cannot import MapActivity as described in the wiki:

import org.mapsforge.android.maps.MapActivity;

In my project, I actually have org.mapsforge.map.android, and it does not contain MapActivity (but it contains MapView, for instance). Why is it the case? Am I using an old version? Or should I not link mapsforge this way?

Best Regards

What Wiki is that, probably an old one?
The MapActivity class existed at previous Mapsforge 0.3.X at latest release 0.4 it's not used anymore.

The Wiki with a simple Android app is the GettingStartedAndroidApp.
And you can find more advanced examples at Samples app.

The easiest way is probably to place your project alongside the samples project and just add it to the top level build.gradle and settings.gradle.
I know this is not great for keeping projects apart but gradle does not seem to like importing from another project tree.

Thanks for the fast answers! I was using an outdated tutorial indeed.

Just because I like to have a working sample project when I work on a new project, I created a repository here: https://github.com/JonasVautherin/MapsforgeGettingStarted. It is using gradle and the gradle wrapper, so that it should be really easy to compile it. I thought it might be helpful to share the link.
