Issue Type

[x] Question

Description

I am the developer of Trackbook, a small app that records hikes. The app uses osmdroid. I recently got the request to add offline maps.

My approach:

1. ask the user to provide a folder that contains .map files
2. render the offline maps using MapsForgeTileSource

My problem: The files/directories, that the app receives from the system file picker, are of the type DocumentFile. MapsForgeTileSource only works with File.

I know that there is a (closed) issue #1591 for this problem. So my question rather would be:

Did I choose the right approach, given the premise, that I want to use user-supplied maps?
