This repository houses the Mapbox Telemetry and Core Libraries for Android.
The Mapbox Telemetry Library for Android is used to collect anonymous and aggregated information about Mapbox usage. We use telemetry from all Mapbox SDKs to improve our map, directions, travel times, and search. We collect anonymous data about how users interact with the map to help developers build better location based applications.
Visit https://www.mapbox.com/telemetry for higher-level information about telemetry and data security at Mapbox
The Mapbox Core Library for Android is a set of utilities that help you with permissions, device location, and connectivity within your Android project. You can:
- Check for, request, and respond to any number of Android system permissions such as device location or camera.
- Check for and respond to a change in the device's internet connectivity status.
- Retrieve a device's real-time location.
If you are looking to include the Core Library inside of your project, please take a look at the detailed instructions found in our docs. If you are interested in building from source, read the contributing guide inside of this project.
The snippet to add to your app-level build.gradle file to use is the following:
// Mapbox Core Library for Android
compile 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-core:0.2.1'
To run the sample code on a device or emulator, include your developer access token in developer-config.xml found in the project.
You'll find all of the documentation for the Core Library on our Mapbox Core page. This includes information on installation, using the API, and links to the API reference.
