To run the included demo app, clone the repository, import the project into Android Studio, enable developer mode on your Android device, add your API key to `local.properties`, and then build and run the app.\n"],null,["Select platform: [Android](/maps/documentation/android-sdk/utility/setup \"View this page for the Android platform docs.\") [iOS](/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/utility/setup \"View this page for the iOS platform docs.\")\n\nThis page describes how to set up the\n[Maps SDK for Android\nutility library](https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils), and to run the demo app included in the library.\n\nPrerequisites and notes\n\nThe Maps SDK for Android utility library supports Android\n[API\nlevel](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) 15 and above. When setting your project build target, make sure you use the latest\nAndroid API level.\n\nThe\n[reference\ndocumentation](http://googlemaps.github.io/android-maps-utils/javadoc/) is available on GitHub.\n\nStep 1. Install the Maps SDK for Android utility library\n\nAdd the following dependency to your app's `build.gradle.kts` file: \n\n```carbon\ndependencies {\n\n\n // Utility Library for Maps SDK for Android\n // You do not need to add a separate dependency for the Maps SDK for Android\n // since this library builds in the compatible version of the Maps SDK.\n implementation(\"com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:3.14.0\")\n}\n```\n\nUse one of the utilities from the library, such as\n[marker\nclustering](/maps/documentation/android-sdk/utility/marker-clustering),\n[heatmaps](/maps/documentation/android-sdk/utility/heatmap), or\nthe [other\nutilities](/maps/documentation/android-sdk/utility).\n\nStep 2. (Optional) Install the Maps SDK for Android utility KTX library\n\nThe Maps SDK for Android utility library comes with a corresponding Kotlin extensions\n(KTX) library. This library provides Kotlin language features---such as extension functions, named\nand default arguments---to enable you to write concise and idiomatic Kotlin. If you are not\ndeveloping in Kotlin, you can skip this step.\n\nTo use this library, add the following dependency, in addition to the\n`android-maps-utils` dependency, to your app's `build.gradle.kts` file: \n\n```carbon\ndependencies {\n\n // KTX for the Maps SDK for Android Utility Library\n implementation(\"com.google.maps.android:maps-utils-ktx:5.2.0\")\n}\n```\n\nCheck out the [Maps KTX GitHub](https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-ktx) page\nfor additional information about this library.\n\nStep 3. View the Maps SDK for Android utility library source code\n\nSince the utility library is open source, you can download the\n[android-maps-utils](https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils)\nlibrary to your machine to customize it, view the demo app, or if you just want to understand how\nthe library works. You can do so by\n[cloning](https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils.git) the repo (recommended,\nto receive automatic updates) or\n[downloading\na zip file](https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils/archive/master.zip). If you want to customize the library, you should\n[fork the repo](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo).\n\nThe repository includes:\n\n- A demo application, in the `demo` directory.\n- The library of utilities, in the `library` directory.\n- Various files containing license, contributors, and readme information.\n- Gradle build configuration, for use with Android Studio.\n\nRun the utility demo app\n\nThe GitHub repository for the utility library ships with a demo app that includes sample\nimplementations of each utility. Follow these steps to run the demo app on\nyour Android device.\n\n1. Download the repository using one of the options mentioned above.\n2. In Android Studio, choose **File -\\\u003e New -\\\u003e Import Project**.\n3. Browse to and select (double-click) the **android-maps-utils** directory that was created when you cloned the utility library. Android Studio now builds the project.\n4. If you are using an Android device instead of an emulator, make sure to [enable developer mode](https://developer.android.com/tools/device.html#setting-up). Then attach the Android device to your computer.\n5. Add a single line to `local.properties` that looks like this:\n\n ```scdoc\n MAPS_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY\n ```\n\n Where \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eYOUR_API_KEY\u003c/var\u003e is the API key you obtained as described in\n [Using API Keys](/maps/documentation/android-sdk/get-api-key).\n6. Build and run the **demo** app.\n\nThe app should open on the Android device, displaying a list of utilities\nincluding clustering, poyutil, heatmap, and more. You can also find the app in\nyour app list, under the name **Maps Utils Demo**."]]
