Osmdroid - change local map folder

Question

I am using offline version of osmdroid, maps are placed in sdcard/osmdroid. Do you know, how to change the file path? I have been searching through their code for handling ZIP files but I haven't found any solution. Anyone faced this issue before?

Thx

Answer 1

Here you can check out the code to build your own version of OSMdroid. Changing ZIP and local folder is totally possbile, had to do it myself a few months ago.

Responsible for the Zips are this classes:

org/osmdroid/tileprovider/modules/ZipFileArchive.java
org/osmdroid/tileprovider/modules/MapTileFileArchiveProvider.java

Answer 2

If you download the package of code about osmdroid: osmdroid-android-3.0.8-sources, you can open the class OpenStreetMapTileProviderConstants.java and modify the variable in this way:

modify

public static final File OSMDROID_PATH = new File("/mnt/sdcard/osmdroid");

to*

public static final File OSMDROID_PATH = new File("/mnt/ext_sdcard/yourfile");

Then put your map tiles into yourfile.
