TUTORIAL 22
Here a Post, There a Post
In this tutorial, we will integrate maps, so we can plot the location for
status updates that provide such information.
Step-By-Step Instructions........................................................................
First, you need to have completed the previous tutorial. If you are
beginning the tutorials here, or if you wish to not use your existing work,
you can download a ZIP file with all of the tutorial results, and you can copy
the 21-Location edition of Patchy to use as a starting point.
NOTE: for this application to work, you will need to have a device or
emulator AVD set up with the Google APIs, and you will need to have your
project set up to build with the Google APIs. If you followed the
instructions in the first tutorial, this will already be done.
Step #1: Register for a Map API Key
First, you need to register for an API key to use with the mapping services
and set it up in your development environment with your debug certificate.
Full instructions for doing this can be found on the Android developer site.
