I have a source for tiles as an url and want to add these to my map.
I am able to do this with Google Map and OSMDroid, but I do not know how to figure it out using Mapbox.
My url has the format "http...mysource..x=..y=..z=.."
I have seen a solution for web, but I do not find such an approach for mobile.
I assume you have a URL for a tile server such as http://server/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
If so, please update your question.
Please see this Mapbox example, https://www.mapbox.com/android-sdk/examples/custom-raster/ to add in a custom Mapbox Style. Note the parameter for setStyleUrl
. Open up that json file and inspect it.
mapView.setStyleUrl("https://www.mapbox.com/android-sdk/files/mapbox-raster-v8.json");
You will then need to create two JSON files. See this project (which is for iOS, but the JSON files are identical for Android, Web, and iOS.).
tile.json
sample
{
"name": "geography-class",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"type": "overlay",
"format": "png",
"minzoom": 0,
"maxzoom": 8,
"bounds": [-117.30596604, 32.78617375, -117.21820077, 32.88817706],
"scale": "1",
"profile": "mercator",
"tiles": ["http://server/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"],
"tilejson": "2.0.0",
"scheme": "xyz"
}
Mapbox Style JSON, put this in the parameter for setStyleUrl()
{
"version": 8,
"sources": {
"yourTileLayer": {
"url": "http://server/tiles/tile.json",
"type": "raster",
"tiles": [
"http://server/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
],
"tileSize": 256
}
},
"layers": [
{
"id": "yourTileLayer",
"type": "raster",
"source": "yourTileLayer"
}
]
}
