Sample apps showcasing Map and Navigation SDK capabilities: placemarks, custom map objects, search, routing, offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation with ready-to-build tutorial examples.
Yandex MapKit and NaviKit are cross-platform libraries that let you use the capabilities of Yandex Maps in mobile applications for iOS and Android. Learn more about the MapKit and NaviKit SDKs on the documentation page.
For a quick start development with the MapKit and NaviKit SDKs visit the following pages:
The current repository contains sample code for how to use the MapKit and NaviKit SDKs for Android applications.
There are three Android projects in the repository:

mapkit-samples: Contains several Android applications with sample code in Kotlin, all of which are demonstrated in the MapKit SDK Tutorials documentation.
map-with-placemark: A simple MapKit SDK application with Getting started with MapKit for Android information.
map-objects: Using the Map Objects API to add objects to the map.
map-interaction: Examples from the Map Interaction tutorial.
map-search: Examples of how to use the Search and Geosuggest functionality.
map-routing: About the Routes and Routing API.
map-offline: Examples of using the Offline Maps API for working with MapKit's maps without the internet.
mapkit-demo: A demo application in Java that contains the basic functionality of the lite and full MapKit SDK versions. It is not supported with Tutorials documentation, unlike the mapkit-samples project.
navikit-demo: A demo application showcasing the basic navigation features you can implement with NaviKit SDK.
git clone https://github.com/yandex/mapkit-android-demo.git
MapKit SDK demo application and samples require API key. You can get a free MapKit API key in the Get the MapKit API Key documentation. The instruction on how to obtain NaviKit API key is described in the [documentation] (https://yandex.ru/dev/mapkit/doc/en/android/generated/navigation/getting_started#get-key).
Depending on the project you want to build, follow the steps in the following sections.
Choose a target in Android Studio for build, or use a CLI build with gradle wrapper:
./gradlew :map-with-placemark:assembleRelease
Open the MainApplication.java and edit the MAPKIT_API_KEY field, setting its value with your API key in place of the your_api_key placeholder:
private final String MAPKIT_API_KEY = "your_api_key";
Run the mapkit-demo target in Android Studio or use the CLI build with gradle wrapper:
./gradlew assembleLiteRelease # Lite MapKit samples only
./gradlew assembleFullRelease # Lite and full
MAPKIT_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
Run the app target in Android Studio or use the CLI build with gradle wrapper:
./gradlew assembleRelease
