This video (episode 3 of 7) adds a screen in our app which renders a map using the Google Maps API.
When the user taps on an item in the list of maps, we use the Android intent system to navigate to a new activity (screen) which show the map data. We also go over how to generate an API key inside a Google project, which is necessary to render the map.

Overview:
In these videos, we build an app which displays a map showing markers of important places. You can also create a map which gets saved to a file and can be retrieved when the app is opened. This app helps you keep track of places that matter to you, whether they’re vacation ideas or places you’ve lived.
