Hybrid Engine Functionality
• HERE maps rendering independent of data connection
• Map data preload for all countries/regions. Map data is highly compressed
vector data => keeping size requirements to a minimum
• E.g. California ~200MB, complete world ~14GB
• HERE Cloud on-demand map data download where map data wasn’t already
preloaded
• HERE Cloud on-demand download of non-vector maps such as Satellite and
Terrain, Street Level Imagery and custom map stiles - requires data
connection
• Route calculation, search for places, geocoding and reverse geocoding
capabilities available with no data connection

13
Live Sight
• Track position of device in space and animate view accordingly
• Seamless transitions from Map to LiveSight and back again
• Gesture support allows the user to interact with content, custom gestures can
also be defined
• Content transitions and interaction are animated using hardware acceleration
• "Radar" UI support, which provides the user with more context regarding their
position relative
to content
• Highly configurable LiveSight engine allows the user experience to be
customized

Creating a Simple Application
4 Easy Steps to do this:

21
First things first – Setup your emulator
Note: Please set a 200-300 MiB SD Card Space
and check User Host GPU

22
First things first – Install Mapsservice-release.apk
in your android device/emulator
The apk is in the apk folder.
Note: The HERE SDK supports Android 2.3.3 or
higher. However, for application targeting
as low as Android SDK version 2.3.3 to 2.3.7,
MapFragment is supported through the use
of
com.here.android.mpa.mapping.MapComp
atibilityFragment and the Android
Support Package (
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/support
-library.html ). For more
details, refer to
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/support
-library.html#Using

23
What do we want to achieve in this topic?
• Pan around the map to view different geographical regions
• Center the map on a specific part of the viewable area using
standard Android single-tap
gestures
• Zoom in and out using standard Android pinch-to-zoom, double-
tap, or two-finger tap
• Rotate the map using standard Android two-finger rotate gestures
• Tilt the map using standard Android two-finger tilt gestures

24
1. From the Eclipse menu, select New > Android Application Project to open the New Android App
dialog (or click from the toolbar)
2. In the New Android Application dialogue, under Application Name, specify an appropriate
application name (The remainder of this tutorial will refer the application name as
HelloHEREMaps)
3. Under Project Name, specify an appropriate project name
4. Under Package Name, specify an appropriate package name (For example,
com.mapstutorial.helloheremaps. This is the package name that this tutorial will use)
5. Under Minimum Required SDK, select the lowest version of the Android SDK you wish to support.
For this sample application, we will use Android 3.0

25
6. Under Target SDK, select your target Android SDK version with API level 14 (Ice Cream Sandwich
4.0.1) or above
7. Click Next
8. Click Next to use the default icons
9. On the Create Activity dialog box, select Blank Activity and click Next
10. Click Finish
Result: A new project will appear within the Eclipse
Package Explorer, which will expand to show the
location of the activity_main.xml file. The file itself will be
opened in the main editor view, in Graphical
Layout mode for adding and editing UI elements.

26
We need to Add HERE Libraries to the project and add it to the build path
After creating the skeleton of your new application, add the HERE SDK resources as follows:
1. From the directory where you installed the HERE SDK, copy the contents of the HERE-sdk/libs/
folder to your project's libs/ folder.
2. In your Eclipse project's libs/ folder, right-click the HERE-sdk.jar file and select Build Path >
Add to Build Path.

27
Edit AndroidManifest.xml
With resources added to your project, the next stage of creating an application with the HERE SDK is
to edit the project's AndroidManifest.xml file to specify Android permissions as follows:
1. From the Package Explorer, double-click your project's AndroidManifest.xml file to open it for
editing.
2. At the bottom of the editor view that displays the manifest, click the AndroidManifest.xml tab to
switch the file's view to text editor mode.
3. Add the following markup beneath the <uses-sdk/> tag:
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission
android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>

28
4. Within the <application></application> block of tags, add the following markup directly
beneath the <activity></activity> tag:
<meta-data android:name="com.here.android.maps.appid"
android:value="YOUR APP ID"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.here.android.maps.apptoken"
android:value="YOUR APP CODE"/>
5. Replace the YOUR APP ID and YOUR APP CODE strings with appropriate credentials for your
Application from developer.here.com when you registered.

29
Edit activity_main.xml
Along with permissions and credentials, you must add an Android <fragment /> tag to set up the
map fragment that your application activity will be associated with. In this section, we will display a
text label (generated as part of the default new application) and a map right below label as follows:
1. From the Package Explorer, under the res/layout/ folder of your project, double-click the
activity_main.xml file to open it for editing.
2. At the bottom of the editor view that displays the layout for MainActivity, click the
activity_main.xml tab to switch the file's view to text editor mode.

30
Ensure that the XML file has <LinearLayout></LinearLayout> as its root element.
Depending on your version of Eclipse, this may be a RelativeLayout instead. If that is the
case, replace the contents of the file with the following:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello_world"
tools:context=".MainActivity" />
</LinearLayout>

31
Add the following markup beneath the <TextView/> tag:

<fragment
class="com.here.android.mpa.mapping.MapFragment"
android:id="@+id/mapfragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
Result: When MapFragment is initialized, your
application's MainActivity will contain a
MapFragment UI element (with the ID mapfragment)
that owns a Map object.

32
From the Package Explorer, under the src/ folder of your project, double-click the
MainActivity.java file to open it for editing.
• Revise the import statements and functional logic of the MainActivity to look like the following:
package com.mapstutorial.helloheremaps;

33
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.here.android.mpa.common.GeoCoordinate;
import com.here.android.mpa.common.OnEngineInitListener;
import com.here.android.mpa.mapping.Map;
import com.here.android.mpa.mapping.MapFragment;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
// map embedded in the map fragment
private Map map = null;
// map fragment embedded in this activity
private MapFragment mapFragment = null;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Search for the map fragment to finish setup by calling init().
mapFragment = (MapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
R.id.mapfragment);
mapFragment.init(new OnEngineInitListener() {
@Override
public void onEngineInitializationCompleted(
OnEngineInitListener.Error error)
{
if (error == OnEngineInitListener.Error.NONE) {
// retrieve a reference of the map from the map fragment
map = mapFragment.getMap();
// Set the map center to Angeles (no animation)
map.setCenter(new GeoCoordinate(15.1447, 120.5957, 0.0),
Map.Animation.NONE);
// Set the zoom level to the average between min and max
map.setZoomLevel(
(map.getMaxZoomLevel() + map.getMinZoomLevel()) / 2);
} else {
System.out.println("ERROR: Cannot initialize Map Fragment");
}
}
