I've tried to put the osm-file into /mnt/sdcard/ using a method like Environment.getExternalStorageState(), but I always get /storage/emulated/0 back. A friend of mine tells me that, this path doesn't work after API Level 17. So... maybe i will try to put the osm-file into assets and use the tiles directly from this folder. Any advise??

is there any chance to put the tile file in my own apk like the folder "assets" ?

please check the java-build path of your project, and go to order and export tab, check whether the libraries in checked state or not...
In Eclipse you have to check the libraries which are needed under the order-export tab.

I know I am writing after a long the question been asked! but may help someone else...

I had the same problem, but then adding all the <uses-permissions> (mentioned in a comment above) and above line of code solved my issue.

It can't recognize the setuseDataConnection for me

build.gradle is:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
compile files('libs/slf4j-android-1.5.8.jar')
compile files('libs/osmdroid-android-4.0.jar')

getting empty grid is mostly because osmdroid could not find tiles in sd card .

make sure they are present in right place.

keep your zipped mapquest tiles in (name of zipped file does not matter)

mnt/sdcard/osmdroid folder.

and

copy this

map.setTileSource(new XYTileSource("MapQuest",
ResourceProxy.string.mapquest_osm, 0, 18, 256, ".png", new String[]{
"http://otile1.mqcdn.com/til...",
"http://otile2.mqcdn.com/til...",
"http://otile3.mqcdn.com/til...",
"http://otile4.mqcdn.com/til..."}));

Re: Using OSMDroid for Offline mapping in Android, step-by-step [Tutorial]

if you set the source as OpenStreetMap Mapnik the map does not load.
I have used mapquest and loaded the Map online and downloaded in MOBAC. However, I am not able to get the map tiles displayed in android mobile. Please guide. I have tried this example and it does not wok for me.

Thank you for this detailed tutorial !
Nevertheless I don't manage to display the map, I can just visualize the grid. I don't know what format to put in the osmdroid folder of my phone, I tried various times it never worked.
Thank you for your help.

Re: A little data handling, csv table data to SQLite database

Ano — Sun, 23 Nov 2014 15:46:36 -0000

Importing data like that is much easier when you use a simple tool like this:

https://gitorious.org/terms...

termsql -i enschede_addresses.csv -1 -d ',' -t addresses -o databasename.db

The -1 option gets the column names from the CSV file, assuming that they're in the first line.

If they aren't, you use the -c option to define the column names.

Does everything for you in one step and also detects wether or columns should be float, integer
or string.

And you're done with one line.

No, it takes about a second on my computer. Did you test it with the test data I provided on GitHub? Note that the files have to be on the correct format in a .txt-file as described in the post to work.

Hi, I can see map in offline mode, but I have a problem. I see map and then when I make a zoom and move the map. I can't see fragment of the tiles of zoomed map which are visible on the unzoomed map. This issue can be seen at the added screenshots.

The creator of the software explains why he has removed some map sources here: http://mobac.sourceforge.ne...

I recommend using one of the other sources.
