These are demos for the Google Maps Android API v2 in Kotlin. They demonstrate most of the features available in the API.
This app was written for a minSdk of 15 and the v4 support library, but it can be easily adapted to
use native functionality instead.
(For example replacing SupportMapFragment
with MapFragment
).
The Maps SDK for Android samples can be found under the gms
gradle product flavor, while the Maps SDK V3 BETA samples can be found under the v3
gradle product flavor. The active product flavor can be modified through Android Studio’s “Build Variants” toolbar options.
- Android SDK v27

This demo app requires that you add your own Google Maps API key:
- Get a Maps API key
- Create a file in the root directory called
secure.properties
(this file should NOT be under version control to protect your API key) - Add a single line to
secure.properties
that looks likeMAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
, whereYOUR_API_KEY
is the API key you obtained in the first step - Build and run
