[android-developers] Re: Google Android Maps API
Finally! I must not have seen the woods for the trees. I guess I got pretty confused about to what extent the Maps are a part of Android. I assume we should treat it as an external add-on despite the fact it's from the same company. Thanks a lot, Mark!

[android-developers] Re: Google Android Maps API
I guess I got pretty confused about to what extent the Maps are a part of Android. I think, internally, they had considered it a separate component from the outset. However, because it was bundled with the SDK so tightly, it was easy for us to think that it was going to be universally available. This whole add-on system seems designed to handle these sorts of things that might only be available on certain devices. Some might come from Google, but others might come from device manufacturers. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
