Setting min and max zoom levels

Question

Having trouble with the zoom interface using OSMDroid API- can not seem to get the zoom control to zoom beyond level 18. Using a local ( SD card ) custom map cache with levels 12-22. We can zoom from 12 -18, but not beyond. There doesn't seem to be any way to set the min or max zoom. Anyone have any ideas on where this setting is defined?

You need to make a class extending MapView, there you can set it by overriding the getMaxZoomLevel() and getMinZoomLevel(), like this:

public class CustomMapView extends MapView {

/* constructors */  

@Override
public int getMaxZoomLevel() {
    return 22;
}

@Override
public int getMinZoomLevel() {
    return 12;
}

}

don't forget to change the MapView call to CustomMapView in your layout:

<com.yourpackage.CustomMapView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/mapview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    />

and activity:

private CustomMapView mMapView;
.
.
.
mMapView = (CustomMapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
