The official documentation for MAPS API v2 states the following: Besides permissions required by other parts of your application, you must add the following permissions in order to use the Google Maps Android API:
- android.permission.INTERNET<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#INTERNET> Used by the API to download map tiles from Google Maps servers. - com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES Allows the API to access Google web-based services. - android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE> Allows the API to cache map tile data in the device's external storage area. My client has requested that we do not use the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. So my question is, is it really true that this permission is mandatory when using the Maps V2 API and will bad things happen if I don't include it? Since the mapping functionality is not a key feature of the application I am more than happy to take any hit with regards to lake of map cacheing.
