WMS View/Lib for Android/iOS

Question

We need a graphical component (view) for rendering maps from any WMS services for Android andn iOS. My researches only show that there is basically only the Google Maps API available as Android/iOS library (MapView).

Before programming a WMS view lib by ourselves, are there any (free or licensed) WMS view libraries for those OSses available, which can be used in own apps? We tried using OpenLayers in a WebView, which is not really satisfying from a performance point of view.

thanks for your help

I have tried using Osmdroid API for this, but still without success. This requires modifying several java classes as XYTileSource and BitmapTileSourceBase.

osmdroid - OpenStreetMap-Tools for Android

There are applications in the Android Market that can make this work perfectly as OruxMaps but not have an API for development. : (

Nutiteq SDK can do this. WMS sample works with EPSG:4326, but SDK supports also other projections and you can modify the map class to use those. Disclaimer: I'm the developer of it.

Update in 2016: updated links, removed obsolete 3 year old references

I think this will fit your requirements: https://confluence.prodevelop.es/display/GVMN/Home

From their homepage:

gvSIG Mini is a free viewer of free access maps based on tiles (OpenStreetMap, YahooMaps, Microsoft Bing, ...), with a WMS, WMS-C client, address and POI search, routes, hybrid location and many more things. It runs with both on/off-line modes.

While it is packaged as an application rather than a library, the source is available (GPL) so you should be able to extract what you need:

We are using the openlayers client. Yes I know it's a Web Client but you can use it in your WebView.

http://openlayers.org/

https://openlayersbook.github.io/ch10-openlayers-goes-mobile/example-01.html

I have a few apps with openlayers maps. Some of these uses online map servers and some uses tiles stored inside the app (offline maps).

For interactions with webView, we use JavaScriptInjections

Look at OpenStreetMap. It provides maps for both iOS and Android

Api - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6

Hope, this helps you.

But doesn't it limit the map services to OpenStreetmap services? What I need is an OGC conform WMS lib. – Alex Schenkel Dec 02 '11 at 08:45
