Current Release: 6.1.2 Sept 28st, 2019
Current Development version: 6.1.3-SNAPSHOT
Next Release Version (planned): 6.1.3
Note: check your calendar, it may take up to a few days for all global mirrors to update.
Please read the osmdroid wiki for tutorials on integration.

We periodically publish snapshots to maven central. If you're interesting in trying it out, using the following:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven{
url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'
name 'OSS-Sonatype'
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.osmdroid:osmdroid-android:<VERSION>-SNAPSHOT:debug@aar'
}Use at your own risk though, it may not be stable or may have bugs or performance issues. If you run across any, please report them.
In case gradle doesn't resolve it, it can be download manually here: https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/repositories/snapshots/content/org/osmdroid/osmdroid-android/-SNAPSHOT/osmdroid-android--SNAPSHOT.aar
Side note: gradle's cached dependencies and doesn't really handle snapshot very well.
To force gradle to update snapshots on every build, try adding this to your root build.gradle file.
allprojects {
// forces all changing dependencies (i.e. SNAPSHOTs) to automagicially download
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
}
}You can also build your project using the gradle option --refreshDependencies

See our contributing guide
The OSMBonusPack project adds additional functionality for use with osmdroid projects.
Thanks to Gradle Fury, this publishes the artifacts to mavenLocal.
./gradlew clean install
In your root build.gradle file, add mavenLocal() if not present.
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
mavenLocal() //add this if it's missing
}
}
Then in your APK or AAR project that needs osmdroid.
compile 'org.osmdroid:osmdroid-android:<VERSION>-SNAPSHOT:debug@aar'
Where VERSION is the version listed as the value for pom.version in gradle.properties. Note that when using the release versions from Maven Central, drop the :debug@aar part. When using a "release" version that you build locally with gradle, you'll need :debug@aar instead.
