How to display static google map on android imageview?

Google offers the static map API for that you need an API key.

You can download a dynamically configured bitmap from the web, store it on the filesystem or on memory, then get drawable from it in order to set it to the ImageView.

You need to generate an url from your coordinates to load the data from the web using this url. Exemple for a 200×200 bitmap showing the eiffel Tower in Paris:

String latEiffelTower = "48.858235";
String lngEiffelTower = "2.294571";
String url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=" + latEiffelTower + "," + lngEiffelTower + "&zoom=15&size=200x200&sensor=false&key=YOUR_API_KEY"

StackOverflow already have some answer on how to download an image from the web in order to display it in an image view: link
