/***Heading***/
## Usage
/***Paragraph***/
Now that Mapbox SDK is installed, let’s explore how to use it in your application.
/***Heading***/
### MapView
/***Paragraph***/
The MapView is the primary component for embedding Mapbox maps in your application. Follow these steps to get started:
/***List***/
1. Import the Mapbox SDK:
“`plaintext
import com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.Mapbox
“`
2. Obtain your Mapbox access token from your account.
3. In your activity’s `onCreate` method, configure the MapView with your access token:
“`plaintext
Mapbox.getInstance(this, “YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN”)
“`
4. Add the MapView to your layout XML file:
“`plaintext
“`
5. In your activity’s `onResume` method, call the following:
“`plaintext
mapView.onResume()
“`
6. In your activity’s `onPause` method, call the following:
“`plaintext
mapView.onPause()
“`
7. In your activity’s `onDestroy` method, call the following:
“`plaintext
mapView.onDestroy()
“`
8. MapView is now set up and ready for use in your application.
/***Heading***/
### Map Options
/***Paragraph***/
You can customize the map options for your MapView. Here’s an example:
/***List***/
1. Define custom map options:
“`plaintext
MapboxMapOptions options = new MapboxMapOptions.createDefault(this)
.camera(new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(new LatLng(40.712776, -74.005974))
.zoom(12)
.build());
“`
2. Set the map options to your MapView:
“`plaintext
mapView = new MapView(this, options)
“`
3. Update your layout XML file:
“`plaintext
“`
4. You now have a customized MapView in your application.
/***Heading***/
### Adding Markers
/***Paragraph***/
Adding markers to your MapView is a common requirement. Follow these steps:
/***List***/
1. Create a marker:
“`plaintext
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(40.712776, -74.005974))
.title(“New York City”)
.snippet(“The Big Apple”);
“`
2. Add the marker to your MapView:
“`plaintext
mapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
@Override
public void onMapReady(@NonNull MapboxMap mapboxMap) {
mapboxMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
}
});
“`
3. The marker is now displayed on your MapView.
