How well does the Bing Maps API integrate with the Android app?

First of all, I would like to ask: "Can you integrate Bing Maps into an Android application? Secondly, if possible, what are the advantages of Bing exceed Google Maps API and vice versa?

Update This Android SDK v1.5 now deprecated

see this link for proper use of BingMap using AJAX controller

Open Source Bing Maps SDK , of course, it is not official, so there is a right from the very beginning, it looks a bit outdated, but then again the google-map api for android is a bit outdated in my opinion, but you can get around most of the restrictions.

It seems that both of them want to keep really “good stuff” for themselves, creating a competitive advantage for them.

As for pro and con, it depends on what you are trying to do. I don’t think that there is some kind of ideal solution, Decarta, which is a little looser in it of use restrictions than Google or Bing Decarta Dev Zone and they have a wider range of use APIs, in my opinion, for example, I like their POI Api against the use of places or squeals, etc.

I am currently working on porting the legacy Android SDK v1.5 to modern Android platforms, I am also trying to port the capabilities of Android SDK 1.5 to the Bing Maps SDK v8 (v1.5 uses the Bing Maps SDK V7).

Please see my Github repository, the main branch is used only for Android SDK v1.5 compatibility, if you want to use Bing Maps v8, check the V8WebControl branch

You can also see how the video shows how the SDK v8 works.
