android - Offline maps OSM -

-

i bit stuck idea of offline maps in android application.

i want use open street maps. how can redesign styles , use in project? way, resource, looking for, has free..

are there tutorials this? new this, thankful helpful information.

here basics:

raster tiles awful. mind, approach of mobile mapping old-fashioned , has no advantages (unless plan make bad-looking application).

the other thing vector tiles. data saved in more efficient way , can displayed beautifully.

and solutions (nominees) are:

  1. mapsforge - @dkiselev
  2. osmand app - @dkiselev
  3. mapbox gl (the android version has no releases now, working hard on it). if mapbox, can think mapbox android sdk, uses raster tiles, believe, switching mapbox gl not hard, when gl lib released.
  4. airbnb airmapview - open source , has release version
  5. urban labs sputnik demo - interesting solution, didn't use it.
  6. mapzen open - open source android app, uses best everywhere. - winner!

and way, mapbox gl actully allows rendering your own mapping data (from own provider). there closed issue on github that, opened me couple of days ago, , answer 1 of project developers.

if don't care using own data source , want rapidly implement custom (not google/apple) maps project - there dozens of solutions well. think of mapbox, scobbler, getyourmap or, again, google find more. there great article on osm website popular libraries , apps android ever developed.

finally, i wish luck mapping project. , never forget:

if can't find doesn't mean doesn't exist - you've been searching not enough.

i need hash algorithm produces 64-bit hash code ( long ) fewer collisions string.gethashcode() , fast (no expensive calls cryptographic functions). here's implementation of fnv still shows 3% of collisions after testing 2 million random strings. need number way lower. void main() { const string chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!#@$%^&*()_+}{\":?><,./;'[]0123456789\\"; const int n = 2000000; var random = new random(); var hashes = new hashset<long>(); int collisions = 0; for(int = 0; < n; i++) { var len = random.next(chars.length); var str = new char[len]; (int j = 0; j < len; j++) { str[j] = chars[random.next(chars.length)]; } var s = new string(str); if(!hashes.add(get64bithash( s ))) collisions++; } console.writeline("collision percentage after " + n + " random strings: " + ((doubl
