Mapbox Setup

Mapbox is used for displaying maps in Jay. To use Mapbox, you need to create an account and get the necessary keys here.

Acquire the necessary keys​

You will need the following confidential keys to build the project:

  • MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN: will initialize the Mapbox SDK during runtime.
  • MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN: downloads dependencies from Mapbox servers.
  • SDK_REGISTRY_TOKEN: used for downloading Mapbox SDKs.

The keys in Jay's setup have the scopes:

  • STYLES:TILES
  • STYLES:READ
  • FONTS:READ
  • DATASETS:READ
  • VISION:READ
  • DOWNLOADS:READ (all except the default public token)

Pay-as-you-go pricing is used in Jay, so you will be charged based on your usage, but you will get plenty of free usage for experimentation.

  1. Place the MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN, MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN and SDK_REGISTRY_TOKEN in the local.properties file in the root folder of the project.
