i got some reference from #osm channel this morning.They tell me that to make accessable my Tile Server map on android device, it’s don’t need an API.It’s only need :

http://code.google.com/p/osmdroid/
http://code.google.com/p/osmdroid/wiki/HowToUse

But i dunno how to configure url to point to my own map (my own tile server)

You probably have to edit http://osmdroid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/osmdroid-android/src/org/osmdroid/tileprovider/tilesource/TileSourceFactory.java and either change the tile server URL to yours or add an additional source. Just a guess.

i have change some url and point it to my tile server,i change on Mapnik layer.but when i take a test with stop apache2 service on my tile server while i access mapnik later on osmndroid via android emulator, it’s still working.osmndroid still show the map for Mapnik layer.How about it ?is it effective way to test my modification ?

or
