Update to Map

Postby tencent » Mon May 03, 2010 4:57 am

EDIT * I meant to add this as a reply to the map tutorial sticky, sorry for the mix up

I am completely new to the android however coming across this I hit a few problems with the code being out dated and also the functions being a little lacking although they are probably lacking as it was a tutorial so for my application and personal testing Adam (my co-developer) and I created this for just testing the map API and are now using it as a platform for developing apps with the map api. The original post still has relevant information however hopefully this helps people out with the obvious changes that have outdated that code and made it non runnable.
