[GIS] Can Google Maps Android API display WMS layer

androidarcgis-androidgoogle-maps-apiwms

I am currently making an app for my final career project, and I am trying to combine the layer of Google Maps and WMS layer that displays a map from a WMS server, helping me with ArcGis SDK for Android,

The MapView object of the ArcGIS API for Android allows you to add WMS layers (with the object WMSLayer), while Google Maps Android API v2 does not allow it, and I can't find a way of combining these layers.

Someone could tell me if this is possible?

Best Answer

It is possible to extend google maps API functionality to support WMS Tile Layers. All you have to do is compute the bounding box in EPSG:3857 before and add that as parameter to the request extending google's TileLayer capabilities.

Here is a nice source for doing that: http://www.azavea.com/blogs/labs/2013/01/wms-on-android/
