UI components | Navigation SDK | Android Docs

The Mapbox Navigation SDK for Android offers several pre-built UI components. You can use any combination of UI components to build a custom turn-by-turn or free-drive navigation experience for your users. Use a component's smart default to get started quickly or customize a component to create a unique navigation experience.

Add the dependency

UI components artifact is not part of the com.mapbox.navigationcore:android, so you will need to add the ui-components dependency explicitly.

To use UI components in your app, add the following library dependency to your build.gradle:


dependencies {
  implementation "com.mapbox.navigationcore:ui-components:3.5.2"
}

See Installation guide for more information on how to properly set up repositories to access SDK artifacts and add required dependencies.
