Vector Tiles

Note

You can find the full source code of this example in VectorTileActivity.kt of the MapLibreAndroidTestApp.

You can specify where to load MVTs (which sometimes have .pbf extension) by creating a TileSet object with template parameters (for example {z} which will be replaced with the zoom level).

MapLibre has a repo with some example vector tiles with the OpenMapTiles schema around Innsbruck, Austria. In the example we load these MVTs and create a line layer for the road network.

val tileset = TileSet(
    "openmaptiles",
    "https://demotiles.maplibre.org/tiles-omt/{z}/{x}/{y}.pbf"
)
val openmaptiles = VectorSource("openmaptiles", tileset)
style.addSource(openmaptiles)
val roadLayer = LineLayer("road", "openmaptiles").apply {
    setSourceLayer("transportation")
    setProperties(
        lineColor("red"),
        lineWidth(2.0f)
    )
}
