OpenLayers in Android

Question

Has anyone tried before using OpenLayers in Android ? How did that go ? Was it accessed through the browser at a certain address or embedded in a local stand alone android appl

Answer 1

Current version of OpenLayers(2.10) doesn't support mobile browsers. New version(2.11) is very close to release though and you can enable support for mobile devices if you include the development version of OpenLayers from trunk. It definitely works if you access it as usual webpage and should work if it's embedded in WebViews.

You can try it out yourself here: http://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/

Just type 'mobile' in search field and you'll get couple of example where you can see how mobile navigation, editing, etc. works on Android and iOS.
