# Add a WMS source

> **Note (legacy): A newer version of the Maps SDK is available**
> 
> This page uses v9.7.1 of the Mapbox Maps SDK. A newer version of the SDK is available. Learn about the latest version, v11.28.3, in the [Maps SDK documentation](https://docs.mapbox.com/android/ja/maps/guides/).

> **Note**
> 
> This example is a part of the [Mapbox Android Demo app](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-android-demo). You can find the values for all referenced resources in the [`res`](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-android-demo/tree/master/MapboxAndroidDemo/src/main/res) directory. For example, see [`res/values/activity_strings.xml`](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-android-demo/tree/master/MapboxAndroidDemo/src/main/res/values/activity_strings.xml) for `R.string.*` references used in this example. The dependencies can be found [here.](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-android-examples/blob/main/app/build.gradle) The examples use View binding.
