The very first step is setting up the development environment with SDK, Tools and configuring them correctly. I think, Building Your First App is the first place you need to go to understand what SDK, Tools are required and how to configure them.
Once you have completed your "Hello World" app and some of the tutorial android apps, you are almost ready to see how you can create a simple mapping application to view Map served from Autodesk Infrastructure Map Server.
In this example I used WebView class from Android APIs. Here is the code snippet :
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class AIMSWebViewActivity extends Activity {
WebView mWebView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
// This initializes the member WebView
// with the one from the Activity layout;
// requests a WebSettings object with getSettings();
// and enables JavaScript for the WebView with
// setJavaScriptEnabled(boolean).
// Finally, an initial web page is loaded with loadUrl(String).
mWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
mWebView.loadUrl("http://www.MyAIMSSite.com/MapView/");
// setContentView(mWebView); // this works too
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new HelloWebViewClient());
}
private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
}

And here is a short video of the same running in Emulator.
I hope this is useful to you!
