Setting Mapbox Access Token

The demo applications use Mapbox vector tiles, which require a Mapbox account and API access token. Obtain an access token on the Mapbox account page.

gradle will take the value of the MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN environ variable and save it to "MapboxGLAndroidSDKTestApp/src/main/res/values/developer-config.xml where the app will read it from.

Building

Run:

make android

You can then open android in Android Studio via “Import project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.)”.

Next: get your app running on a hardware Android Device or simulator
