Hi Mathieu,
Yes, I did look into MapsForge. The problem is, only a small subset of osm
features is converted into the binary .map format, which is bad for customized
osm. And I also don't know about feature access. But otherwise it sounds pretty
cool, the complete Berlin area in ~14 MB!
Thanks a lot for your suggestions, everyone! Andreas, your idea using
OpenLayers does sound interesting, especially since we're probably going
to use .osm or a very similar format. I haven't heard about PhoneGap
before. This is definitely worth a try.
Kind regards,
Johannes

I have just started looking at it, but it looks promising with regard
to offline vector rendering.
Hi,
why not use OpenLayers then? It works on Android, can read vector data
files, gives programmatic access to the features and geometries, and
supports the creation of vector features. And if wrapped in PhoneGap
or Titanium, it will also give you write access to the file system.

OpenLayers cannot render shapefile directly but using mapserver it can
we use gdal which can render more format than OpenLayers
changing shapefile viewer to Vector viewer for android is a change of single
line in code :)

Hi Mohammed,
Sounds good. But is the Android version an offline app?

Hi everyone,
I am looking for a vector rendering library for the Android OS that
should be able to:
- render vector data from a file (preferrably .osm)
- give programmatical access to the file's features and shapes
- support overlays for vector creation (similar to OpenLayers)
The
we have an online shapefile viewer which works on android.
lsi.iiit.ac.in/lsi/shpviewer
the android version of the shapefile viewer now works only with our demo
data. but it can be extended to view any OGR supported vector
If need I will mail you the android application with demo data
On Fri,
