Google Maps Api v2 or v3 is ideal.

See the accepted answer here:

Using the android Google Maps API v2 as a viewer of offline tiles: is it possible?

Always search Google for answers first. A simple search "Google Maps api using offline android" showed me the above link as the first result!

The question you link to is for *not* using Google's tiles, but rather one's own, and I see nothing in the OP's question to suggest that the OP wishes to replace Google's tiles. – CommonsWare Aug 24 '13 at 11:22

There may be ways to use OpenStreetMap's OSMDroid library and package its map tiles with the app. The only apps I have used with OSMDroid have downloaded tiles after the app was installed, perhaps due to size.
