Hi!

I am trying to create an app that uses offline maps and custom tiles. For this I have decided to use OSMDroid and have included the jar within my project. I will create my custom tiles using MOBAC.

I have been directed to these examples: http://code.google.com/p/osmdroid/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FOpenStreetMapViewer%2Fsrc%2Forg%2Fosmdroid%2Fsamples

but I am struggling to follow them as I am new to both java and android.

I have created a class file called test (which I have created following an example!):

public class test extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

 protected static final String PROVIDER_NAME = LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER;

 @Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    MapView map = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.map);
    map.setTileSource(TileSourceFactory.MAPQUESTOSM);

    map.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    map.setMultiTouchControls(true);
    map.getController().setZoom(16);
    map.getController().setCenter(new GeoPoint(30266000, -97739000));

}

}

with a layout file:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <org.osmdroid.views.MapView android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        tilesource="MapquestOSM" android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>

When I run this I see no map, just an empty grid. I think this is due to my tilesource but I'm not sure what I need to change it to.

Can anyone help?
