The following tutorials walk you through the steps to create a simple Android application using the deCarta Android API.
Getting Started : Installing Software, Installing the deCarta Android API, Installing the Tutorials
This document walks you walks you through the process of setting up the Android SDK, downloading and installing the deCarta Android API and Tutorials, and starting a new Android project.
Lesson 1 : Creating an App using the deCarta Android API, Displaying a Map, Adding Map Controls
This first lesson walks you through the process of creating your first Android project, using the deCarta iPhone API and supporting frameworks, to display a draggable map.
Lesson 2 : Handling Map Events, Adding Pins to the Map
The Map captures events such as TOUCH and LONGTOUCH events. This lesson adds a handler to the map which drops a pin on the map when the user holds down a point on the map (triggering the LONGTOUCH event), and displays an infowindow above the pin with latitude and longitude of the point.
This lesson demonstrates how to determine the lat/lon position of an address.
This lesson demonstrates how to determine the address corresponding to a lat/lon position. This lesson modifies the pin dropped as the result of a LONGTOUCH event (from Lesson 2), replacing the infowindow text for that pin with the reverse geocoded address at the pin's location.
Lesson 5 : Point-of-Interest Search
This lesson demonstrates how to search in a specified area for points-of-interest (POIs) by name. The returned results are displayed on the map as a set of pins on the map.
Lesson 6 : Calculating a Route
This lesson demonstrates how to calculate a route between two points. It displays this route overlayed on the map, with pins marking the origin and destination points.
