Package com.codename1.maps.spi

package com.codename1.maps.spi

The maps service-provider interface (SPI).

This package defines the contract that native map providers (Apple MapKit, Google Maps, Bing, Huawei, ...) implement so that NativeMap can drive a native map peer without the core framework depending on any provider SDK. Provider implementations are not part of the core: they are injected into the app's com.codename1.maps package by the build tooling when a maps.provider build hint selects one, and they register themselves with MapProviderRegistry. When no provider is present NativeMap falls back to the pure-vector MapView.
