Migrate to v11
This document is a guide for migrating from v10 of the Mapbox Maps SDK for Android to the v11. It includes information about new features, deprecated APIs, and breaking changes.
Version Compatibility
| Version | Minimum Android Version | Kotlin Version | Target/Compile SDK Version | NDK Version | OpenGL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11.0.0 | 5.0 (API level 21) | 1.6.0 or later | 33 | 23.2.8568313 | OpenGL ES 3.0 |
| 11.7.0 | 5.0 (API level 21) | 1.6.0 or later | 33 | 23.2.8568313 27.0.12077973 | OpenGL ES 3.0 |
Mapbox Maps SDK v11 was complied with the following dependencies:
- Kotlin 1.7.20 and binary compatibility with Kotlin compiler 1.6 and above.
- Compile SDK Version 33, which is also the minimum target SDK level for new apps published to Google Play Store.
- Android X libraries which requires
minCompileSdk (33), if you are not able to update to compileSDK 33, force an older version of Android X libraries in app’s build.gradle:
implementation("androidx.appcompat:appcompat") { version { strictly("1.4.2") } }
implementation("androidx.core:core-ktx") { version { strictly("1.8.0") } }

The Mapbox Standard Style and Mapbox Standard Satellite Styles
With the Mapbox Maps SDK v11 we are introducing Mapbox Standardand Mapbox Standard Satellite, our latest Mapbox style. The new Mapbox Standard core style enables a highly performant and elegant 3D mapping experience with powerful dynamic lighting capabilities, landmark 3D buildings, and an expertly crafted symbolic aesthetic. With Mapbox Standard and Mapbox Standard Satellite, we are also introducing a new paradigm for how to interact with map styles.
To set Mapbox Standard as the style for your map in v11 you can use the Style.STANDARD constant like below:
mapboxMap.loadStyle(Style.STANDARD)
The Mapbox Standard and Mapbox Standard Satellite styles features 4 light presets: day, dusk, dawn, and night. The style light preset can be changed from the default, “Day”, to another preset with a single line of code. Here you identify which imported style (basemap) you want to change the lightPresent configuration on, as well as the value (dusk) you want to change it to.
mapboxMap.loadStyle(Style.STANDARD) { style ->
style.setStyleImportConfigProperty(styleImportId, "lightPreset", Value.valueOf("dusk"))
}
Light preset "day" (default) | Light preset "dusk" |
|---|---|
Changing the light preset will alter the colors and shadows on your map to reflect the time of day. For more information, see the Lighting API section. Similarly, you can set other configuration properties on the Standard style such as showing POIs, place labels, or specific fonts:
mapboxMap.loadStyle(Style.STANDARD) { style ->
style.setStyleImportConfigProperty(styleImportId, "showPointOfInterestLabels", Value.valueOf(false))
}
The Standard style offers 8 configuration properties for developers to change when they import it into their own style:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
showPlaceLabels | Bool | Shows and hides place label layers. |
showRoadLabels | Bool | Shows and hides all road labels, including road shields. |
showPointOfInterestLabels | Bool | Shows or hides all POI icons and text. |
showTransitLabels | Bool | Shows or hides all transit icons and text. |
show3dObjects | Bool | Shows or hides all 3d layers (3D buildings, landmarks, trees, etc.) including shadows, ambient occlusion, and flood lights. Important: configuration available starting from v11.5.1 SDK |
theme | String | Switches between 3 themes: default, faded and monochrome. Important: configuration available starting from v11.5.1 SDK |
lightPreset | String | Switches between 4 time-of-day states: dusk, dawn, day, and night. |
font | String | Defines font family for the style from predefined options. |
The Standard Satellite Style (mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard-satellite) combines updated satellite imagery and vector layers to offer users improved clarity and detail. Like Standard style, the Satellite Style receives all updates automatically and also supports light presets. Additionally, it introduces two new configurations showRoadsAndTransit and showPedestrianRoads. Users can now choose to hide roads, simplifying the map style for a better focus on specific areas or features.
The Standard Satellite style offers 8 configuration properties for developers to change when they import it into their own style:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
showRoadsAndTransit | Bool | Shows and hides all roads and transit networks. |
showPedestrianRoads | Bool | Shows and hides all pedestrian roads, paths, trails. |
showPlaceLabels | Bool | Shows and hides place label layers. |
showRoadLabels | Bool | Shows and hides all road labels, including road shields. |
showPointOfInterestLabels | Bool | Shows or hides all POI icons and text. |
showTransitLabels | Bool | Shows or hides all transit icons and text. |
lightPreset | String | Switches between 4 time-of-day states: dusk, dawn, day, and night. |
font | String | Defines font family for the style from predefined options. |
Important: Standard satellite style doesn't support theme and show3dObjects configuration. |
Mapbox Standard and Mapbox Standard Satellite are making adding your own data layers easier for you through the concept of slots. Slots are predefined locations in the style where your layer will be added to (such as on top of existing land layers, but below all labels). To do this, we've added a new slot property to each Layer. This property allows you to identify which slot in the Mapbox Standard your new layer should be placed in. To add custom layers in the appropriate location in the Standard or Standard Satellite style layer stack, we added 3 carefully designed slots that you can leverage to place your layer. These slots will not change, so you can be sure that your own map won't break even as the basemap evolves automatically.
| Slot | Description |
|---|---|
bottom | Above polygons (land, landuse, water, etc.) |
middle | Above lines (roads, etc.) and behind 3D buildings |
top | Above POI labels and behind Place and Transit labels. Designed to be used with the symbol layers. |
| not specified | Above all existing layers in the style |
Set the preferred slot on the Layer object before adding it to your map and your layer will be appropriately placed in the Standard style's layer stack. If no slot is specified for a custom layer they are placed at the top of the layer list, providing a location that has highest collision priority compared to all other layers.
+lineLayer(layerId = "line-layer", sourceId = "line-layer") {
lineColor(rgb(255.0, 165.0, 0.0))
slot("middle")
}
For the new Standard or Standard Satellite styles, you can only add layers to these three slots (bottom, middle, top) within the Standard and Standard Satellite style basemaps.
And when a layer type such as background, fill, line, circle, hillshade or heatmap is added to the top slot in the Standard or Standard Satellite Style, it will be positioned below all labels. This behavior is due to the design of the top slot in the Standard or Standard Satellite Style, which is primarily intended for use with symbol layers.
Like to the classic Mapbox styles, you can still use LayerPosition when importing the Standard or Standard Satellite Style. This method is only applicable to custom layers you have added yourself. If you add two layers to the same slot with a specified layer position the latter will define the order of the layers in that slot.
Standard and Standard Satellite Style are aware of the map lighting configuration using the measure-light expression, which returns you an aggregated value of your light settings. This returns a value which ranges from 0 (darkest) to 1 (brightest). In darker lights, you make the individual layers light up by using the new *-emissive-stength expressions, which allow you to add emissive light to different layer types and for example keep texts legible in all light settings. If your custom layers seem too dark, try adjusting the emissive strength of these layers.
Customizing Standard
The underlying design paradigm to the Standard style is different from what you know from the classic core styles. Mapbox manages the basemap experience and surfaces key global styling configurations - in return, you get a cohesive visual experience and an evergreen map, always featuring the latest data, styling and rendering features compatible with your SDK. The configuration options make interactions with the basemap simpler than before. During the beta phase, we are piloting these configurations - we welcome feedback on the beta configurations. If you have feedback or questions about the Standard beta style reach out to: hey-map-design@mapbox.com.
You can customize the color of your Standard or Standard Satellite Style experience by adjusting the 3D light settings. Individual basemap layers and/or color values can’t be adjusted, but all the flexibility offered by the style specification can be applied to custom layers while keeping interaction with the basemap simple through slots.
Our existing, classic Mapbox styles (such as Mapbox Streets, Mapbox Light, and Mapbox Satellite Streets) and any custom styles you have built in Mapbox Studio will still work like they do in v10, so no changes are required.
Style Imports
To work with styles like Mapbox Standard or Standard Satellite, we've introduced new Style APIs that allow you to import other styles into the main style you display to your users. These styles will be imported by reference, so updates to them will be reflected in your main style without additional work needed on your side. For example, imagine you have style A and style B. The Style API will allow you to import A into B. Upon importing, you can set configurations that apply to A and adjust them at runtime. The configuration properties for the imported style A will depend on what the creator of style A chooses to be configurable. For the Standard style, 6 configuration properties are available for setting lighting, fonts, and label display options (see The Mapbox Standard Style section above).
To import a style, you should add an "imports" section to your Style JSON. In the above example, you would add this "imports" section to your Style JSON for B to import style A and set various configurations such as Montserrat for the font and dusk for the lightPreset.
...
"imports": [
{
"id": "A",
"url": "STYLE_URL_FOR_A",
"config": {
"font": "Montserrat",
"lightPreset": "dusk",
"theme": "faded",
"show3dObjects: true,
"showPointOfInterestLabels": true,
"showTransitLabels": false,
"showPlaceLabels": true,
"showRoadLabels": false
}
}
],
...
For a full example of importing a style, take a look at our Standard Style Example. This example imports the Standard style into another style Real Estate New York.
We've introduced new APIs on the Style object so you can work with these features:
style.styleImports, which returns all the styles you have imported into your main stylestyle.removeStyleImport(), which removes the style import with the passed Idstyle.getStyleImportSchema(), which returns the full schema describing the style import with the passed Idstyle.getStyleImportConfigProperties(), which returns all the configuration properties of the style import with the passed Idstyle.getStyleImportConfigProperty(), which returns the specified configuration property of the style import with the passed Idstyle.setStyleImportConfigProperties(), which sets all the configuration properties of the style import with the passed Idstyle.setStyleImportConfigProperty(), which sets the specified configuration property of the style import with the passed Id
Besides modifying the configuration properties of the imported styles, you can add your own layers to the imported style through the concept of slots. Slots are predefined locations in the imported style where your layer will be added to (such as on top of existing land layers, but below all labels). To do this, we've added a new slot property to each Layer. This property allows you to identify which slot in the imported style your new layer should be placed in.
+lineLayer(layerId = "line-layer", sourceId = "line-layer") {
lineColor(rgb(255.0, 165.0, 0.0))
slot("middle")
}
For more information, see The Mapbox Standard Style section above.
Migration steps
1. Update dependencies
Update your app's dependencies to use the latest version of the Mapbox Maps SDK for Android.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.mapbox.maps:android:11.0.0'
}
2. Replace deprecated APIs
Check for deprecated APIs in your code and replace them with the recommended alternatives. Deprecated APIs may be removed in future releases.
2.1 Deprecating MapboxMap.loadStyle methods
The following methods have been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version:
fun loadStyleUri(styleUri: String, styleTransitionOptions: TransitionOptions? = null, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null, onMapLoadErrorListener: OnMapLoadErrorListener? = null)
fun loadStyleUri(styleUri: String, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null, onMapLoadErrorListener: OnMapLoadErrorListener? = null)
fun loadStyleUri(styleUri: String, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null)
fun loadStyleUri(styleUri: String)
fun loadStyleJson(styleJson: String, styleTransitionOptions: TransitionOptions? = null, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null, onMapLoadErrorListener: OnMapLoadErrorListener? = null)
fun loadStyleJson(styleJson: String, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null, onMapLoadErrorListener: OnMapLoadErrorListener? = null)
fun loadStyleJson(styleJson: String, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null)
fun loadStyleJson(styleJson: String)
fun loadStyle(styleExtension: StyleContract.StyleExtension, styleTransitionOptions: TransitionOptions? = null, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null, onMapLoadErrorListener: OnMapLoadErrorListener? = null)
fun loadStyle(styleExtension: StyleContract.StyleExtension, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null, onMapLoadErrorListener: OnMapLoadErrorListener? = null)
The following functions are introduced to load the style:
// to load the style both from URI or JSON
@JvmOverloads
fun loadStyle(
style: String,
onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null,
)
// to load the style using Style DSL
@JvmOverloads
fun loadStyle(
styleExtension: StyleContract.StyleExtension,
onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null,
)
Important notes:
- When using
loadStyle(style: String, onStyleLoaded: Style.OnStyleLoaded? = null)string is first checked if it is a valid URI, and if not - it will be treated as a JSON. - Parameter
onMapLoadErrorListenerfromloadStylewas removed as it was not covering all the map / style loading errors. If you need to listen to those errors, you have to register a specific listener in advance, for exampleOnMapLoadErrorListenershould now be registered withMapboxMap.subscribeMapLoadingError; you could also subscribe to other error / warning events likeMapboxMap.subscribeStyleImageMissingorMapboxMap.subscribeStyleImageRemoveUnused. - Parameter
styleTransitionOptionsfromloadStylewas removed. To applystyleTransitionOptions, you should use more granular overloadedloadStyletakingStyleContract.StyleExtensionand add transition options in the DSL block:
mapboxMap.loadStyle(
style(Style.DARK) {
+transition {
duration(100L)
enablePlacementTransitions(false)
}
// other runtime styling
}
)
Related minor breaking change: renamed StyleContract.StyleExtension.styleUri -> StyleContract.StyleExtension.style as this property could now return both URI and JSON:
mapboxMap.loadStyle(style(styleUri = Style.DARK))
// should be replaced with
mapboxMap.loadStyle(style(style = Style.DARK))
2.2 Deprecating event listener APIs
All Map events have become serializable, which brings type-safety and eliminates deserialization errors. We have deprecated traditional listener-based event API (for example MapboxMap.add<EVENT>Listener() and MapboxMap.remove<EVENT>Listener()) and modified observable event APIs to subscribe dedicated events using MapboxMap.subscribe<EVENT>.
The following methods have been deprecated in favor of subscribe<EVENT> methods and will be removed in the next major version. The full list is:
fun addOnCameraChangeListener(onCameraChangeListener: OnCameraChangeListener)
fun removeOnCameraChangeListener(onCameraChangeListener: OnCameraChangeListener)
fun addOnMapIdleListener(onMapIdleListener: OnMapIdleListener)
fun removeOnMapIdleListener(onMapIdleListener: OnMapIdleListener)
fun addOnMapLoadErrorListener(onMapLoadErrorListener: OnMapLoadErrorListener)
fun removeOnMapLoadErrorListener(onMapLoadErrorListener: OnMapLoadErrorListener)
fun addOnMapLoadedListener(onMapLoadedListener: OnMapLoadedListener)
fun removeOnMapLoadedListener(onMapLoadedListener: OnMapLoadedListener)
fun addOnRenderFrameStartedListener(onRenderFrameStartedListener: OnRenderFrameStartedListener)
fun removeOnRenderFrameStartedListener(onRenderFrameStartedListener: OnRenderFrameStartedListener)
fun addOnRenderFrameFinishedListener(onRenderFrameFinishedListener: OnRenderFrameFinishedListener)
fun removeOnRenderFrameFinishedListener(onRenderFrameFinishedListener: OnRenderFrameFinishedListener)
fun addOnSourceAddedListener(onSourceAddedListener: OnSourceAddedListener)
fun removeOnSourceAddedListener(onSourceAddedListener: OnSourceAddedListener)
fun addOnSourceDataLoadedListener(onSourceDataLoadedListener: OnSourceDataLoadedListener)
fun removeOnSourceDataLoadedListener(onSourceDataLoadedListener: OnSourceDataLoadedListener)
fun addOnSourceRemovedListener(onSourceRemovedListener: OnSourceRemovedListener)
fun removeOnSourceRemovedListener(onSourceRemovedListener: OnSourceRemovedListener)
fun addOnStyleDataLoadedListener(onStyleDataLoadedListener: OnStyleDataLoadedListener)
fun removeOnStyleDataLoadedListener(onStyleDataLoadedListener: OnStyleDataLoadedListener)
fun addOnStyleLoadedListener(onStyleLoadedListener: OnStyleLoadedListener)
fun removeOnStyleLoadedListener(onStyleLoadedListener: OnStyleLoadedListener)
fun addOnStyleImageMissingListener(onStyleImageMissingListener: OnStyleImageMissingListener)
fun removeOnStyleImageMissingListener(onStyleImageMissingListener: OnStyleImageMissingListener)
fun addOnStyleImageUnusedListener(onStyleImageUnusedListener: OnStyleImageUnusedListener)
fun removeOnStyleImageUnusedListener(onStyleImageUnusedListener: OnStyleImageUnusedListener)
The following APIs are introduced to subscribe to events:
fun subscribeCameraChanged(cameraChangedCallback: CameraChangedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeMapIdle(mapIdleCallback: MapIdleCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeMapLoadingError(mapLoadingErrorCallback: MapLoadingErrorCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeMapLoaded(mapLoadedCallback: MapLoadedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeRenderFrameStarted(renderFrameStartedCallback: RenderFrameStartedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeRenderFrameFinished(renderFrameFinishedCallback: RenderFrameFinishedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeSourceAdded(sourceAddedCallback: SourceAddedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeSourceDataLoaded(sourceDataLoadedCallback: SourceDataLoadedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeSourceRemoved(sourceRemovedCallback: SourceRemovedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeStyleDataLoaded(styleDataLoadedCallback: StyleDataLoadedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeStyleLoaded(styleLoadedCallback: StyleLoadedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeStyleImageMissing(styleImageMissingCallback: StyleImageMissingCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeStyleImageRemoveUnused(styleImageRemoveUnusedCallback: StyleImageRemoveUnusedCallback): Cancelable
fun subscribeResourceRequest(resourceRequestCallback: ResourceRequestCallback): Cancelable
Note: To unsubscribe, use the returned Cancelable object.
For convenience, MapboxMap methods returning Flow of events were introduced: cameraChangedEvents, mapIdleEvents, sourceAddedEvents, sourceRemovedEvents, sourceDataLoadedEvents,
styleImageMissingEvents, styleImageRemoveUnusedEvents, renderFrameStartedEvents, renderFrameFinishedEvents, resourceRequestEvents.
Event listeners have been deprecated and replaced with callbacks. Callbacks invoke run method that will return data associated with the specific event.
| v10 | v11 |
|---|---|
OnCameraChangeListener | CameraChangedCallback |
OnMapIdleListener | MapIdleCallback |
OnMapLoadErrorListener | MapLoadingErrorCallback |
OnMapLoadedListener | MapLoadedCallback |
OnRenderFrameStartedListener | RenderFrameStartedCallback |
OnRenderFrameFinishedListener | RenderFrameFinishedCallback |
OnSourceAddedListener | SourceAddedCallback |
OnSourceDataLoadedListener | SourceDataLoadedCallback |
OnSourceRemovedListener | SourceRemovedCallback |
OnStyleDataLoadedListener | StyleDataLoadedCallback |
OnStyleLoadedListener | StyleLoadedCallback |
OnStyleImageMissingListener | StyleImageMissingCallback |
OnStyleImageUnusedListener | StyleImageRemoveUnusedCallback |
2.3 Image utilities
- Added
ImageExtensionImpl.Builder(imageId, image),ImageExtensionImpl.Builder(imageId, bitmap)constructors and deprecatedImageExtensionImpl.Builder(imageId),ImageExtensionImpl.Builder.image(image),ImageExtensionImpl.Builder.bitmap(bitmap).
3. Check for breaking changes
The following are breaking changes that may affect your app:
3.1 Location API
MapView.location2has been removed and the following methodspuckBearingEnabled,showAccuracyRing,accuracyRingColor,accuracyRingBorderColorwere moved toMapView.location.LocationConsumer2has been dropped in favor ofLocationConsumer.PuckBearingSourcewas renamed toPuckBearing:mapbox_locationComponentPuckBearingSourcewas renamed tomapbox_locationComponentPuckBearing.MapView.location2.puckBearingSourcewill becomeMapView.location.puckBearing.
MapView.location.puckBearingEnabledis nowfalseby default.LocationConsumerinterface was extended withonErrorallowing to handle location errors.LocationConsumer.onAccuracyRadiusUpdatedwas renamed toLocationConsumer.onHorizontalAccuracyRadiusUpdated.
- To keep the 3D model size constant across different zoom levels, platform based
scale-expressionhas been removed in favor ofLocationPuck3D.modelScaleModeAPI, and the default valueModelScaleMode.VIEWPORTkeeps the 3D model constant across all zoom levels. This introduced a behavioral breaking change, and themodel-scaleproperty needs to be adjusted to correctly render the puck (we found the adjustment to be around100xofmodel-scalevalue, but that could vary depending on model properties, etc.).
3.1.1 Using LocationService instead of LocationEngine
LocationEnginehas been removed. To get a location provider you now have to import thecom.mapbox.common.location.*packages and use theLocationServiceandDeviceLocationProviderwith aLocationObserver.
First get a DeviceLocationProvider:
import com.mapbox.common.location.LocationService
import com.mapbox.common.location.LocationServiceFactory
import com.mapbox.common.location.LocationProvider
import com.mapbox.common.location.LocationObserver
val locationService : LocationService = LocationServiceFactory.getOrCreate()
var locationProvider: DeviceLocationProvider? = null
val result = locationService.getDeviceLocationProvider(null)
if (result.isValue) {
locationProvider = result.value!!
} else {
Log.error("Failed to get device location provider")
}
There are also overload versions of getDeviceLocationProvider that allows to specify DeviceLocationProviderType and ExtendedLocationProviderParameters:
LocationService::getDeviceLocationProvider(type: DeviceLocationProviderType,
request: LocationProviderRequest? = null, allowUserDefined: Boolean = true):
Expected<LocationError, DeviceLocationProvider>
LocationService::getDeviceLocationProvider(extendedParameters: ExtendedLocationProviderParameters,
request: LocationProviderRequest? = null):
Expected<LocationError, DeviceLocationProvider>
See the documentation for DeviceLocationProviderType and ExtendedLocationProviderParameters for a detailed description of these types.
To receive location updates, create a LocationObserver and override the onLocationUpdateReceived function to handle the locations:
val locationObserver = object: LocationObserver {
override fun onLocationUpdateReceived(locations: MutableList<Location>) {
Log.e(TAG, "Location update received: " + locations)
}
}
locationProvider.addLocationObserver(locationObserver);
To stop receiving updates, remove your observer:
locationProvider.removeLocationObserver(locationObserver);
You can register for location updates via a PendingIntent on the DeviceLocationProvider:
locationProvider.requestLocationUpdates(myPendingIntent)
locationProvider.removeLocationUpdates(myPendingIntent)
You can also register a LocationObserver with a Looper object, the message queue will then be used to implement the callback mechanism:
addLocationObserver(observer: LocationObserver, looper: Looper)
The location provider automatically starts and stops collecting locations based on the amount of subscribers: once the first subscriber is registered, the service starts, and when the last observer is unregistered, the service stops.
If you want to get the last known location, you can do so via the asynchronous LocationProvider.getLastLocation function. The function returns a Cancelable object which allows cancelling the request if needed:
val lastLocationCancelable = locationProvider.getLastLocation { result ->
result?.let { doSomething(it) }
}
To cancel the request, call
lastLocationCancelable.cancel()
- Compatibility classes
com.mapbox.common.location.compat.*have been removed.
3.1.2 Common location migration
LocationService::getLastLocation()changes.
LocationService::getLastLocation() is replaced by an asynchronous method LocationProvider::getLastLocation()
v10:
LocationService::getLastLocation(): expected<Location, LocationError>
v11:
LocationProvider::getLastLocation(callback: GetLocationCallback): Cancelable
LiveTrackingClienthas been replaced byDeviceLocationProvider
Remove lifecycle mode capabilities from LiveTrackingClient/DeviceLocationProvider, LiveTrackingClientSettings::ActivityType, and LiveTrackingClient::flush()
The explicit start() and stop() functions have been removed from the API. DeviceLocationProvider starts as soon as one observer is attached and stops when all observers are removed.
LocationService::getDeviceLocationProviderinstead ofLocationService::getLiveTrackingClient
Introduce LocationProviderRequest to replace the Value setting and simplify API. Add several overloads for getDeviceLocationProvider to be able to specify custom DeviceLocationProvider parameters.
v10:
LocationService::getLiveTrackingClient(name: String, capabilities: Value): expected<Location, LocationError>
v11:
LocationService::getDeviceLocationProvider(request: optional<LocationProviderRequest>): Expected<DeviceLocationProvider, LocationError>
LocationService::getDeviceLocationProvider(type: DeviceLocationProviderType,
request: LocationProviderRequest? = null, allowUserDefined: Boolean = true):
Expected<LocationError, DeviceLocationProvider>
LocationService::getDeviceLocationProvider(extendedParameters: ExtendedLocationProviderParameters,
request: LocationProviderRequest? = null):
Expected<LocationError, DeviceLocationProvider>
See the documentation for LocationProviderRequest, DeviceLocationProviderType and ExtendedLocationProviderParameters for a detailed description of these types.
LiveTrackingClientObserverchanges
Rename LiveTrackingClientObserver to LocationObserver. Method onLiveTrackingStateChanged() removed. Method onLocationUpdateReceived() simplified:
v10:
interface LiveTrackingClientObserver {
fun onLiveTrackingStateChanged(state: LiveTrackingState, error: LocationError?)
fun onLocationUpdateReceived(locationUpdate: Expected<LocationError, List<Location>>)
}
v11:
interface LocationObserver {
fun onLocationUpdateReceived(locations: List<Location>)
}
- Add methods that allows to subscribe to location updates with specific
LooperorPendingIntent
Extend LocationProvider to allow registering an observer with Looper. The observer will be notified through the given Looper.
addLocationObserver(observer: LocationObserver, looper: Looper)
PendingIntent can be used to register/unregister for DeviceLocationProvider location updates.
requestLocationUpdates(pendingIntent: PendingIntent)
removeLocationUpdates(pendingIntent: PendingIntent)
LocationServiceFactorymethods changes
LocationServiceFactory.locationService() method name changed to LocationServiceFactory.getOrCreate()
LocationServiceFactory.setUserDefined() method was removed. It is not possible to set custom LocationService anymore but possible to set custom DeviceLocationProvider with LocationService::setUserDefinedDeviceLocationProviderFactory().
3.2. ResourceOptions and ResourceOptionsManager have been removed
There can only be one global Mapbox access token used by the application.
The ResourceOptions class has been removed. To set options accessToken, baseURL, dataPath,
assetPath, tileStore and tileStoreUsageMode at runtime, use MapboxOptions and MapboxMapsOptions objects.
If you were using ResourceOptions to set the access token and other properties as part of the map
view MapInitOptions (or MapSnapshotOptions for the Snapshotter), you can now call the following
methods before creating the MapView, MapSurface or Snapshotter:
MapboxOptions.accessToken = "your_mapbox_access_token"
MapboxOptions.mapsOptions.tileStore = yourTileStore
MapboxOptions.mapsOptions.tileStoreUsageMode = yourTileStoreUsageMode
You can find an example at MapViewCustomizationActivity.kt.
The ResourceOptionsManager class has been removed. To set the default token, define a string resource value:
<resources>
<string name="mapbox_access_token" translatable="false" >your_mapbox_access_token</string>
</resources>
Or you can use MapboxOptions.accessToken property at runtime.
3.3 Events API
The Observer interface used to subscribe for observable events and associated methods MapboxMap.subscribe(observer: Observer, events: List<String>) and MapboxMap.unsubscribe(observer: Observer, events: List<String>) have been removed. Use MapboxMap.subscribe<EVENT> : Cancelable methods to subscribe to the events.
3.4 Camera Animations API
- The
MapAnimationOptions.animatorListenerproperty is removed. To subscribe to animations, provideAnimator.animatorListenerwithflyTo,easeTo,pitchBy,scaleBy,moveBy,rotateByAPIs. - The
Cancelableinterface is moved from an animation plugin package to a generic common package for reuse across the codebase, e.g.,com.mapbox.maps.plugin.animation.Cancelableis replaced withcom.mapbox.common.Cancelable. - The
MapCameraPlugin'sonCameraMovemethod now usesPointfor camera center andEdgeInsetsfor padding.
3.5 Annotation API
The Annotation.id changed the type to string from long. Annotation.id should now be used as a feature identifier instead of Annotation.featureIdentifier when binding annotations to view annotations. Annotation.featureIdentifier has been removed.
3.6 Offline API
3.6.1 OfflineManager API changes
- The
OfflineManagerInterfacewas removed, use a concrete instance ofOfflineManagerinstead. - The
OfflineManager.createTilesetDescriptor(tilesetDescriptorOptionsForTilesets)andTilesetDescriptorOptionsForTilesetswere removed. UseTilesetDescriptorOptions.Builder.tilesetsto provide additional tilesets to theTilesetDescriptorOptionsand createTilesetDescriptorby invokingOfflineManager.createTilesetDescriptor(tilesetDescriptorOptions)function. - The Mapbox access token is removed from
TileStoreOptions. The token is now retrieved from the system viaMapboxOptions.
3.6.2 Legacy OfflineRegionManager API changes
- The
ResponseErroris renamed toOfflineRegionError. - The
OfflineRegionObserver.responseError(ResponseError)is renamed toOfflineRegionObserver.errorOccurred(OfflineRegionError). - The
ResponseErrorReasonis renamed toOfflineRegionErrorType.- The
OfflineRegionErrorType.DISK_FULLis introduced as a specific error code for shortage of the available space to store the resources. - The
OfflineRegionErrorType.TILE_COUNT_LIMIT_EXCEEDEDis introduced as a specific error code indicating that the limit on the number of Mapbox tiles stored for offline regions has been reached.
- The
- The
OfflineRegionObserver.tileCountLimitExceeded()is removed in favor of the newOfflineRegionErrorType.TILE_COUNT_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.
- The
OfflineRegionError.isFatalflag is introduced, indicating that the error is fatal, in other words the region cannot continue downloading any resources and it will be put to inactive state.
3.7 Query Rendered/Source Features API
- The single
MapboxMap.queryRenderedFeaturesmethod acceptsRenderedQueryGeometryand returns the list ofQueriedRenderedFeaturein the callback, allowing to check which layers contain the feature. - The deprecated
MapboxMap.queryRenderedFeaturesandMapboxMap.queryFeatureExtensionsmethods are removed. - The
MapboxMap.querySourceFeaturesreturnsCancelable.
3.8 Feature State API
- The callback argument
callback: QueryFeatureStateCallbackis added to the following methods:MapboxMap.getFeatureState,MapboxMap.setFeatureState,MapboxMap.removeFeatureState. - The following feature state methods now return
Cancelable:MapboxMap.getFeatureState,MapboxMap.setFeatureState,MapboxMap.removeFeatureState.
3.9 Snapshot API
- Methods
Snapshotter.setTileMode,Snapshotter.isInTileModewere removed. - Interface
MapSnapshotInterfacewas removed. Snapshotter.startmethod has been changed to align with iOS. This also brings benefit of less image copy operations and allowing to re-use the sameCanvasto do custom drawing over the snapshot for the user if needed by introducingSnapshotOverlayclass.
// in v10
snapshotter.start { mapSnapshotterInterface ->
// explicit check for nullability
mapSnapshotterInterface?.let { mapSnapshot ->
// extra copy operation
val bitmap = mapSnapshot.bitmap()
// creating own Canvas
val canvas = Canvas(bitmap)
canvas.drawOval(RectF(0f, 0f, 100f, 100f), Paint())
val imageView = ImageView(context)
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap)
setContentView(imageView)
}
}
// in v11
snapshotter.start { snapshotBitmap, errorMessage ->
start(
overlayCallback = { overlay ->
overlay.canvas.drawOval(
RectF(0f, 0f, 100f, 100f),
Paint()

3.10 Style API
- The new Mapbox Standard style
Style.STANDARDhas been introduced as the default style. - Mapbox style constants have been updated to use the latest versions bringing performance improvements:
| Style | v10 | v11 |
|---|---|---|
| MAPBOX_STREETS | mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11 | mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v12 |
| SATELLITE_STREETS | mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-streets-v11 | mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-streets-v12 |
| OUTDOORS | mapbox://styles/mapbox/outdoors-v11 | mapbox://styles/mapbox/outdoors-v12 |
| LIGHT | mapbox://styles/mapbox/light-v10 | mapbox://styles/mapbox/light-v11 |
| DARK | mapbox://styles/mapbox/dark-v10 | mapbox://styles/mapbox/dark-v11 |
| STANDARD | N / A | mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard |
| STANDARD_SATELLITE | N / A | mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard-satellite |
- The
MapboxMapmethods:getGeoJsonClusterLeaves,getGeoJsonClusterChildren,getGeoJsonClusterExpansionZoomall returnCancelable. - Remove deprecated
MapStyleStateDelegate.isFullyLoadedandMapboxMap.isFullyLoaded.Style.isStyleLoadedshould be used instead. - Remove deprecated
Layertransition properties:backgroundPatternTransition,lineDasharrayTransition,linePatternTransition,fillPatternTransition. - Remove
Style.setStyleGeoJSONSourceData(sourceId: String, data: GeoJSONSourceData)method.
- Argument
dataIdof theGeoJson.feature,GeoJson.featureCollection,GeoJson.geometry,GeoJson.url,GeoJson.databecame non-nullable. - Remove deprecated
GeoJsonSourcepublic constructor, builder should be used instead. - Light API has been enhanced and
Lighthas becomeFlatLight:- DSL function to create light instance
light { }should be replaced withflatLight { }. Light()should be replaced withFlatLight(id: String). Any id should work for now as only single instance of flat light is supported at the moment.Style.setStyleLight(parameters: Value)removed and should be replaced withStyle.setStyleLights(lights: Value);Style.setStyleLightProperty(id: String, light: Value),Style.getStyleLightProperty(property: String)removed and should be replaced with similar overloaded functions withid: Stringparameter.
- DSL function to create light instance
- Remove
Style.getStyleSourcesAttribution.MapboxMap.getAttributionsshould be used instead. - All style enum classes from Property.kt and SourceProperties.kt became regular classes instead of enums. Enum functions
ordinal,name,valuesare not available anymore, butvalueOfstill exists. When using these classes withwhenexpressionelsebranch will have to be implemented. - Remove
MapInitOptions.optimizeForTerrainas it has become redundant. - Remove setter functions for
Style.styleURIandStyle.styleJSONas loading the style should happen only withMapboxMap.loadStyle. - Extension function
Style.getProjection()return type changed fromProjectiontoProjection?. NULL is returned when the projection is undefined, before an undefined projection was treated as Mercator projection. - (Kotlin only) Remove
Style.getStyleSources()/Style.getStyleLayers(). PropertiesStyle.styleSources/Style.styleLayersshould be used instead.
3.11 Render Cache API
- The experimental
MapboxMap.setRenderCacheOptionsandMapboxMap.getRenderCacheOptionsAPIs are removed. - The experimental
MapboxMap.setMemoryBudgetAPI is renamed toMapboxMap.setTileCacheBudgetand is promoted to a stable API.
3.12 Attributes API
The AlertDialog of attribution plugin has been migrated from android.app.AlertDialog to androidx.appcompat.app.AlertDialog.
3.13 Usage of data classes
- The plugin settings classes -
AttributionSettings,CompassSettings,GesturesSettings,LocationComponentSettings,LogoSettings,ScaleBarSettings- are not Kotlindataclasses anymore as there are known limitations of using data class as public API to be not scalable. These setting classes are now made as final classes that implementParcelable. ImageHolderclass is introduced to represent either a drawable id or aBitmap. The following properties are updated to use this new type:CompassSettings.image,LocationPuck2D.topImage,LocationPuck2D.bearingImage,LocationPuck2D.shadowImage.
3.14 Usage of interfaces
Native interfaces StyleManagerInterface, StyleInterface, CameraManagerInterface, MapInterface, ObservableInterface have been removed. MapboxMap and Style, which were implementing those interfaces, should now be used to call native methods.
3.15 Changes in the network stack
Those changes should only affect you if you explicitly access the Mapbox network stack by overwriting it or adding an interceptor.
HttpServiceFactory.getInstance,HttpServiceFactory.reset,HttpServiceFactory.setUserDefinedmethods were removed from the public API. This means that you are not allowed to overwrite the Mapbox network stack anymore.- To add an interceptor, you should call
HttpServiceFactory.setHttpServiceInterceptorinstead ofHttpServiceFactory.getInstance().setInterceptor. HttpResponseData.codetype changed fromlongtoint.HttpServiceInterceptorInterface.onDownloadmethod was removed.- The signature for
HttpServiceInterceptorInterface.onRequestandHttpServiceInterceptorInterface.onReponsewas changed. The return value is passed through a continuation instead of the methods' return value. - The ability to overwrite for HTTP stack through modular setup has been removed, for example if you have used
@MapboxModule(type = MapboxModuleType.CommonHttpClient)in your application, it will not overwrite the network stack in Mapbox Maps SDK v11 anymore. - Introduce
HttpRequestFlagsconstants to set additionalHttpRequestparameters.HttpRequest.keepCompressionmoved toHttpRequest.flags(HttpRequestFlags.KEEP_COMPRESSION). - Introduce
HttpRequestFlags.PAUSE_IN_BACKGROUNDthat can be enabled usingHttpRequest.flags. If this flag is enabled and the application also has thecom.mapbox.common.http.pause_requests_on_demandsetting, the request will be performed in the foreground only. In case application is in the background, the request will be queued.
To set com.mapbox.common.http.pause_requests_on_demand add an http-config.xml file with the following content:
<resources>
<bool name="com.mapbox.common.http.pause_requests_on_demand">true</bool>
</resources>
Alternatively, the value can be added to other resource XML file if one already exist.
Here is an example code to create a request with the PAUSE_IN_BACKGROUND flag:
HttpRequest httpRequest = new HttpRequest.Builder().method(HttpMethod.GET)
.url(url)
.headers(new HashMap<>())
.flags(HttpRequestFlags.PAUSE_IN_BACKGROUND)
.build();
It is also possible to combine the PAUSE_IN_BACKGROUND with other flags. To set both PAUSE_IN_BACKGROUND and KEEP_COMPRESSION flags, use HttpRequestFlags.PAUSE_IN_BACKGROUND | HttpRequestFlags.KEEP_COMPRESSION as the value for the flags property.
3.16 Java-specific changes
The callback for animations has been removed from AnimationOptions and can now be optionally passed when executing the animation.
While this is an optional declaration for Kotlin, it's considered a breaking change for Java.
mapCamera.easeTo(
new CameraOptions.Builder()
.center(Point.fromLngLat(location.getLongitude(), location.getLatitude()))
.bearing((double) location.getBearing())
.pitch(45.0)
.zoom(17.0)
.padding(new EdgeInsets(1000, 0, 0, 0))
.build(),
mapAnimationOptionsBuilder.build(),
null // add additional null
);
3.17 Settings service changes
The interface SettingsServiceInterface has been removed in favor of class SettingsService. SettingsServiceFactory.getInstance(...) now returns the SettingsService class.
3.18 Kotlin-specific changes
The method MapView.getMapboxMap() has been deprecated. Use property MapView.mapboxMap instead.
The method MapSurface.getMapboxMap() has been deprecated. Use property MapSurface.mapboxMap instead.
The method MapboxMap.getStyle() has been deprecated. Use property MapboxMap.style instead.
3.19 Plugin changes
All Mapbox plugin implementations have now become internal as they were designed initially. Public plugin interfaces have to be used instead:
CameraAnimationsPluginImpl->CameraAnimationsPluginAnnotationPluginImpl->AnnotationPluginAttributionPluginImpl->AttributionPluginCompassViewPlugin->CompassPluginGesturesPluginImpl->GesturesPluginMapboxLifecyclePluginImpl->MapboxLifecyclePluginLocationComponentPluginImpl->LocationComponentPluginLogoViewPlugin->LogoPluginMapOverlayPluginImpl->MapOverlayPluginScaleBarPluginImpl->ScaleBarPluginViewportPluginImpl->ViewportPlugin
3.20 View annotations
ViewAnnotationOptionsnow acceptsAnnotatedFeatureof typesGeometryorAnnotatedLayerFeatureinstead ofgeometryandassociatedFeatureId. Both allow to attach view annotation to the complex feature geometries (for example line or fill layers).
To create view annotation tied to the layer feature (the view annotation visibility and position will be updated when the feature is changed or goes out of the viewport):
val viewAnnotation = viewAnnotationManager.addViewAnnotation(
R.layout.view_annotation,
viewAnnotationOptions {
annotatedLayerFeature("layer-id") {
featureId("feature-id") // optionally, feature within layer
}
}
)
To create view annotation tied to the static geometry:
val viewAnnotation = viewAnnotationManager.addViewAnnotation(
R.layout.view_annotation,
viewAnnotationOptions {
geometry(Point.fromLngLat(-122.3915, 37.6177)) // geometry can be LineString, Polygon etc.
}
)
For the more detailed example of the new View Annotations use refer to the DynamicViewAnnotationsActivity.kt.
ViewAnnotationManager.getViewAnnotationByFeatureIdis renamed toViewAnnotationManager.getViewAnnotation.ViewAnnotationManager.getViewAnnotationOptionsByViewis renamed toViewAnnotationManager.getViewAnnotationOptions.ViewAnnotationManager.getViewAnnotationOptionsByFeatureIdis renamed toViewAnnotationManager.getViewAnnotationOptions.ViewAnnotationOptionsaccepts list of anchorsvariableAnchorsinstead ofanchor/offsetX/offsetY.ViewAnnotationAnchorConfigfieldsoffsetX/offsetYare now of type Double instead of Int.ViewAnnotationOptionsfieldswidth/heightare now of type Double instead of Int.OnViewAnnotationUpdatedListener.onViewAnnotationPositionUpdatedargumentswidth/heightare now of type Double instead of Int.
4. Test your app
Test your app thoroughly after making the changes to make sure everything works as expected.
New APIs and minor ergonomic improvements
Lighting and 3D Model APIs
The new Standard and Standard Satellite style and its dynamic lighting is powered by the new Style and Lighting APIs that you can experiment with. The following experimental APIs can be used to control the look and feel of the map.
Lighting API
Style.addLight(ambientLight: AmbientLight, directionalLight: DirectionalLight)should be used to enable and setup Ambient and Directional light. This could be also used in Style DSL withdynamicLightDSL function:
mapView.mapboxMap.loadStyle(
style(style = Style.STANDARD) {
// other DSL code
+dynamicLight(
blockAmbient = {
intensity(5.0)
},
blockDirectional = {
castShadows(true)
}
)
}
)
Layer emissiveness controls
The following layer properties control the emissiveness of specific layers:
BackgroundLayer.backgroundEmissiveStrengthCircleLayer.circleEmissiveStrengthFillLayer.fillEmissiveStrengthLineLayer.lineEmissiveStrengthSymbolLayer.iconEmissiveStrengthSymbolLayer.textEmissiveStrengthModelLayer.modelEmissiveStrength
New FillExtrusionLayer properties
For the FillExtrusionLayer, you have control over various properties, such as ambient occlusion, flood lighting, and edge roundness.
FillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionRoundedRoofFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionEdgeRadiusFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionAmbientOcclusionWallRadiusFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionAmbientOcclusionGroundRadiusFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionAmbientOcclusionGroundAttenuationFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionFloodLightColorFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionFloodLightIntensityFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionFloodLightWallRadiusFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionFloodLightGroundRadiusFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionFloodLightGroundAttenuationFillExtrusionLayer.fillExtrusionVerticalScale
LineLayer occlusion visibility
- The new
LineLayer.lineDepthOcclusionFactorproperty controls the visibility of a line layer occluded by 3D objects, such as buildings or fill extrusions.
Icon cross-fading for the SymbolLayer
- The new
SymbolLayer.iconImageCrossFadeproperty controls cross-fading between two icon variants. The property can be used together withmeasure-lightexpression to cross-fade between light and dark icons.
ModelLayer
We've also introduced an experimental ModelLayer that allows you to render 3D models on the map. Try it out, and let us know your feedback!
Jetpack Compose Extension
With Android Maps SDK v11, we also released an optional compose extension, to make it easier to integrate Mapbox Maps to your app using Jetpack Compose. For more details, take a look at our Jetpack Compose Extension Guide and our compose example application.
Query Rendered Features and Feature State API improvements
- Added
suspendvariants for the asyncMapboxMapmethods:queryRenderedFeatures,querySourceFeatures,setFeatureState,getFeatureState,removeFeatureState,resetFeatureStates,getGeoJsonClusterLeaves,getGeoJsonClusterChildren,getGeoJsonClusterExpansionZoom. - Added
MapboxMap.resetFeatureStatesmethod to reset all feature states within the source.
Camera API improvements
- We made padding parameter optional for
MapboxMapmethodscameraForCoordinateBounds,cameraForCoordinates,cameraForGeometry. - Added
FreeCameraOptionsmethodsgetLocation,getAltitude,setLocation,setAltitudeto control location/altitude independently of each other. - Added
MapboxMap.coordinateBoundsForRectreturningCoordinateBoundsfor givenRectFof screen coordinates.
Style API and expressions improvements
New expressions
We have introduced a new set of expressions to enhance your styling capabilities:
hsl,hsla: These expressions allow you to define colors using hue, saturation, lightness format.random: Generate random values using this expression. Use this expression to generate random values, which can be particularly helpful for introducing randomness into your map data.measureLight: Create dynamic styles based on lighting conditions.activeAnchor: Now, you can assign a unique image to each variable anchor of a symbol layer.
Raster colorization
The raster colorization feature allows you to change the visualization of the raster data. This feature is particularly useful for the colorization of satellite imagery, grayscale radar tiles, rgb-encoded terrain, or population density tiles.
You can enable raster colorization via the rasterColor expression and RasterLayer.rasterColor, RasterLayer.rasterColorMix, RasterLayer.rasterColorRange layer properties.
Improved expression ergonomics
-
Added custom lint rules to check:
- illegal usage of literals in Expression DSL and suggest auto fix
- illegal number of arguments within given Expression DSL
- unused layer/source/light/terrain/atmosphere/projection objects in the Style DSL, and suggest auto fix to add it to the style using
unaryPlus(+)operator
-
Added
Expressionoverload functionslinearInterpolator,exponentialInterpolator,cubicBezierInterpolator,step,matchandswitchCaseto construct the expressions with strongly typed parameters.
General API improvements
- Added
ImageSource.updateImage(Bitmap)convenience method for updating the image of theImageSource. - Copy relevant
Stylemethods toMapboxMap. This provides better alignment with GL-JS and iOS and also allows accessing style methods before initial style is loaded withMapboxMap.loadStyle.
AnnotationManager API improvements
- Added
PointAnnotation.iconTextFitandPointAnnotation.iconTextFitPaddingto use instead of deprecatedPointAnnotationManager.iconTextFitandPointAnnotationManager.iconTextFitPadding. The new properties allow you to create uniquely looking callout annotations with ease. - Added clustering support for
CircleAnnotationManager.
Introducing Partial GeoJsonSource APIs
Introduced GeoJsonSource.addGeoJSONSourceFeatures, GeoJsonSource.updateGeoJSONSourceFeatures, GeoJsonSource.removeGeoJSONSourceFeatures APIs to partially mutate the geojson source data instead of passing the whole source data for every update.
New methods are faster (up to four times), performance boost is most visible when small number of features in large geojson sources are mutated.
Tracing API
The new Tracing API allows you to enable two types of traces:
- Native Rendering Engine Traces:
To enable these traces, use the method
MapboxTracing.enableCore(). These traces encompass native render calls, style loading, tile requests, tile parsing and more. - Android Platform Traces:
To enable these traces, use the method
MapboxTracing.enablePlatform(). These traces cover Android render thread calls, such as preparing and destroying the surface.
Additionally, you have the option to enable all traces at once using MapboxTracing.enableAll(). If you want to disable all tracing, use MapboxTracing.disableAll().
You can find more details about Tracing API use in the Developing guide
Mapbox Maps Recorder
MapboxMapRecorder provides API to record and replay map interaction sessions. Such recordings can be used to debug issues which require multiple steps to reproduce. Usage example could are available at this link.
Conclusion
Following the above steps will help you migrate your app to the latest version of the Mapbox Maps SDK for Android. If you find any issues during the migration process, refer to the Mapbox Maps SDK for Android documentation or reach out to the Mapbox support team for help.
