  • Step 1: In Android Studio ( am using 2.2 ), create a new project with Google Maps activity in it.
  • Step 2: The Java code to add.

We’ll discuss later what codes to add to complete the project.

Open the Java file which has the Maps Activitity, and add the following codes, copy the code after the image.

public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;

// Add a marker in KUIS, Bandar Seri Putra and move the camera
// KUIS 2.8905° N, 101.7885° E
LatLng bsp = new LatLng(2.8905, 101.7885);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(bsp).title(location));

CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(bsp)
.zoom(20)
.bearing(70)
.tilt(25)
.build();
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));

}//end onMapReady

Step 3: Handling the MULTIDEX issue.

multidex-error-message

In AndroidManifest.xml

android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"
android-manifest-enable-multidex

In build.gradle add these two lines;

multiDexEnabled true //// ADD Enabling multidex support

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' // ADD Enabling multidex supportbuild.gradle-sync-now
And hit Sync Now

After finishing the Gradle sync, run and test in a real device. Emulator will not display the maps with the default setting.
