Flutter Mapbox GL #

Please note that this project is community driven and is not an official Mapbox product. We welcome feedback and contributions.

This Flutter plugin allows to show embedded interactive and customizable vector maps inside a Flutter widget. For the Android and iOS integration, we use mapbox-gl-native. For web, we rely on mapbox-gl-js. This project only supports a subset of the API exposed by these libraries.

Running the example app #

Install Flutter and validate its installation with flutter doctor
Clone the repository with git clone [email protected]:tobrun/flutter-mapbox-gl.git
Add a public Mapbox access token to the example app (see next section)
Add a secret Mapbox access token for downloading the SDK
Connect a mobile device or start an emulator, simulator or chrome
Locate the id of a the device with flutter devices
Run the app with cd flutter_mapbox/example && flutter packages get && flutter run -d {device_id}

Adding a Mapbox Access Token #
This project uses Mapbox vector tiles, which requires a Mapbox account and a Mapbox access token. Obtain a free access token on your Mapbox account page.

Even if you do not use Mapbox vector tiles but vector tiles from a different source (like self-hosted tiles) with this plugin, you will need to specify any non-empty string as Access Token as explained below!

The recommended way to provide your access token is through the MapboxMap constructor's accessToken parameter, which is available starting from the v0.8 release. Note that you should always use the same token throughout your entire app.
An alternative method to provide access tokens that was required until the v0.7 release is described in this wiki article.
SDK Download token #
You must also [configure a secret access token having the Download: read
scope][https://docs.mapbox.com/ios/maps/guides/install/]. If this configuration
is not present, an error like the following appears during the iOS build.
[!] Error installing Mapbox-iOS-SDK
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 401 Unauthorized

Avoid Android UnsatisfiedLinkError #
Update buildTypes in android\app\build.gradle
buildTypes {
release {
// other configs
ndk {
abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a','arm64-v8a','x86_64', 'x86'
}
}
}

Map Styles #
Map styles can be supplied by setting the styleString in the MapOptions. The following formats are supported:

Passing the URL of the map style. This can be one of the built-in map styles, also see MapboxStyles or a custom map style served remotely using a URL that start with 'http(s)://' or 'mapbox://'
Passing the style as a local asset. Create a JSON file in the assets and add a reference in pubspec.yml. Set the style string to the relative path for this asset in order to load it into the map.
Passing the style as a local file. create an JSON file in app directory (e.g. ApplicationDocumentsDirectory). Set the style string to the absolute path of this JSON file.
Passing the raw JSON of the map style. This is only supported on Android.

Offline Sideloading #
Support for offline maps is available by "side loading" the required map tiles and including them in your assets folder.


Create your tiles package by following the guide available here.


Place the tiles.db file generated in step one in your assets directory and add a reference to it in your pubspec.yml file.


assets:
- assets/cache.db
copied to clipboard

Call installOfflineMapTiles when your application starts to copy your tiles into the location where Mapbox can access them. NOTE: This method should be called before the Map widget is loaded to prevent collisions when copying the files into place.

try {
await installOfflineMapTiles(join("assets", "cache.db"));
} catch (err) {
print(err);
}

Downloading Offline Regions #
An offline region is a defined region of a map that is available for use in conditions with limited or no network connection. Tiles for selected region, style and precision are downloaded from Mapbox using proper SDK methods and stored in application's cache.


Beware of selecting big regions, as size might be significant. Here is an online estimator https://docs.mapbox.com/playground/offline-estimator/.


Call downloadOfflineRegionStream with predefined OfflineRegion and optionally track progress in the callback function.


final Function(DownloadRegionStatus event) onEvent = (DownloadRegionStatus status) {
if (status.runtimeType == Success) {
// ...
} else if (status.runtimeType == InProgress) {
int progress = (status as InProgress).progress.round();
// ...
} else if (status.runtimeType == Error) {
// ...
}
};

final OfflineRegion offlineRegion = OfflineRegion(
bounds: LatLngBounds(
northeast: LatLng(52.5050648, 13.3915634),
southwest: LatLng(52.4943073, 13.4055383),
),
id: 1,
minZoom: 6,
maxZoom: 18,
mapStyleUrl: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11',
);

downloadOfflineRegionStream(offlineRegion, onEvent);

Location features #
Android #
Add the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission in the application manifest android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml to enable location features in an Android application:
<manifest ...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
copied to clipboard
Starting from Android API level 23 you also need to request it at runtime. This plugin does not handle this for you. The example app uses the flutter 'location' plugin for this.
iOS #
To enable location features in an iOS application:
If you access your users' location, you should also add the following key to ios/Runner/Info.plist to explain why you need access to their location data:
xml ...
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>[Your explanation here]</string>
copied to clipboard
Mapbox recommends the explanation "Shows your location on the map and helps improve the map".
