How do I get access to the Google Indoor Maps on my Android app? I currently have a GPS app using Google Maps APIs but it doesn't show the indoor maps for Switzerland.

I can access the indoor maps for Switzerland (Sihlcity, Zurich Airport) using the official Google Maps app on Android so ideally it should work in my personal Android app as well.

Does it work using the same Google Maps APIs or is there a separate logic for indoor maps?

Many thanks in advance for your reply.

The "MapView" component that comes with the "Google APIs" SDK plugin for Android has just been updated to "v2", it looks like:

The docs are here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/

And the MapFragment (now vector based and 3D) that replaces the old MapView includes indoor maps.
