I am trying to use Sfmaps within Xamarin.Android project and want to use Custom Map providers to refer google api. 

But cannot find any documentation for doing same. (only for Xamarin.Forms is found)

Hi Rohit, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

 

We can achieve the requirement by overriding the GetUri method in imagery layer as in the code snippet below. 

 

[C#] 

 

public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity 

    { 

        protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 

        { 

            base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState); 

            Xamarin.Essentials.Platform.Init(this, savedInstanceState); 

 

            SfMaps maps = new SfMaps(this); 

            ImagerLayerExt layer = new ImagerLayerExt(); 

            maps.Layers.Add(layer); 

            SetContentView(maps); 

        } 

} 

 

public class ImagerLayerExt:ImageryLayer 

    { 

        protected override string GetUri(int X, int Y, int Scale) 

        { 

            var link = "http://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x=" + X.ToString() 

        + "&y=" + Y.ToString() + "&z=" + Scale.ToString(); 

            return link; 

        } 

    }
