Official Google sample code repository demonstrating the Maps SDK for Android, including ApiDemos, Firebase-driven marker animations, Wear OS maps, tutorials, and snippets. It is a learning resource for Android developers integrating Google Maps into their apps.
Use cases
- learn how to add a Google map with markers to an Android app
- see examples of customizing map styles, polygons, and info windows
- display a map on a Wear OS device
- sync live marker animations across devices with Firebase
- find code snippets for Maps SDK features from the developer guide
When to choose
- you are building an Android app with Google Maps and want official example code
- you need working demos of specific Maps SDK features like markers, shapes, or camera events
- you are following a Google Maps tutorial and want the companion sample project
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready mapping library rather than sample code
- you are targeting iOS, web, or non-Android platforms
- you want an offline or non-Google mapping solution like OpenStreetMap
