Google Play demo app for the Mapbox Maps SDK for Android
A now-archived Android demo app that showed off the Mapbox Maps SDK v6-era features — layer styling, clustering, offline maps, directions, location components. It was pulled from the Play Store in October 2024. If you're looking for current Mapbox Android examples, this is the wrong place.
The breadth of examples is genuinely useful as a reference: it covers the full SDK surface from basic map setup through heatmaps, 3D extrusions, isochrones, Turf operations, and offline caching. The labs section has creative combinations like baseball spray charts and fingerprint-gated layers that show what the SDK can actually do in a real UI. The GeoJSON asset collection gives you test data for a dozen different scenarios without having to wire up a real backend. Both Java and Kotlin examples exist side-by-side for most features, so you can compare idioms.
Archived and removed from the Play Store — it targets the old Mapbox Maps SDK for Android (v9 era), which has since been replaced by the Maps SDK v10 with a completely different API surface, so most of this code will not compile against current dependencies. The access token setup bakes a secret into XML resources, which is a bad habit to copy. No modularisation — every example is a monolithic Activity with layout inflation and business logic in one file, making it harder to extract patterns for real use. The repo is frozen; there are no issues being addressed and no PRs being reviewed.
