Clone and run the samples

Git is required to run this sample locally. The following command clones the sample application repository.

git clone git@github.com:googlemaps-samples/android-samples.git

Import the sample project into Android Studio:

  1. In Android Studio, select File > New > Import Project.
  2. Go to the location where you saved the repository and select the project directory for Kotlin or Java:

    • Kotlin: PATH-REPO /android-samples/ApiDemos/kotlin
    • Java: PATH-REPO /android-samples/ApiDemos/java
  3. Select Open. Android Studio builds your project, using the Gradle build tool.
  4. Create a blank secrets.properties file in the same directory as your project's local.properties file. For more information about this file, see Add your API key to the project .
  5. Get an API key from your project with the Maps SDK for Android enabled .
  6. Add the following string to secrets.properties , replacing YOUR_API_KEYwith the value of your API key:

    MAPS_API_KEY= YOUR_API_KEY 
    
  7. Run the app.
