Mapbox Gestures for Android

The Mapbox Gestures for Android library wraps GestureDetectorCompat and introduces implementation of scale, rotate, move, shove and tap gesture detectors.

Mapbox Gestures for Android was inspired by Android Gesture Detector Framework and offers the same functionality with some additional features on top.

The library is implemented in the projects found below, where you can head for more examples:

Are you using the library in your project as well? Let us know or create a PR, we'll be more than happy to add it to the list!

Documentation

You'll find all of this library's documentation on our Maps Guides user interaction page. This includes information on installation, using the API, and links to the API reference.

Getting Started

If you are looking to include Mapbox Gestures for Android inside of your project, please take a look at the detailed instructions found in our docs. If you are interested in building from source, read the contributing guide inside of this project.

To use the Gestures library, you need to set the SDK registry (own Mapbox Maven repo) first. Please follow the instructions provided at the general Maps install page.

Then add the Mapbox Android Gestures library :

// In the app build.gradle file
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-gestures:0.8.0'
}

Mapbox access tokens

To build test application you need to configure Mapbox access tokens as described at https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/guides/install/#configure-credentials. To build the project you need to specify SDK_REGISTRY_TOKEN as an environmental variable or a gradle property. It is a secret token used to access the SDK Registry (Mapbox Maven instance) during compile time, with a scope set to DOWNLOADS:READ. To run the specific Mapbox activity in this repo's test application, you need to include public token in the [app/src/main/res/values/developer-config.xml] resource file.
