Styling heatmaps

A newer version of the Maps SDK is available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 A newer version of the SDK is available.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, v11.9.0, in the Maps SDK documentation.
Note

This example is a part of the Mapbox Android Demo app. You can find the values for all referenced resources in the res directory. For example, see res/values/activity_strings.xml for R.string.* references used in this example. The dependencies can be found here.The examples use View binding.See setup documention if necessary.
