Loading And Program own map data

Can i load my own RPF data to generate map by using ArcGIS for Android Apps? Can i program on it?

Are you interested in viewing the RPF (Raster Product Format) as a map service or as a local tile layer? Direct read of RPF data is not supported in the Android API but you can do one of the following to view the data on in your Android Application.

1. Map Service
Create your map in ArcGIS Desktop and publish it as a MapService to ArcGIS Server.

2. Local Tile layer
Create a map cache and store the data locally on your device. The data for this layer must be in an ArcGIS Compact Cache format. The path used in the constructor of the ArcGISLocalTiledLayer must point to the Layers folder e.g.
ArcGISLocalTiledLayer local = new ArcGISLocalTiledLayer("file:///mnt/sdcard/<CacheName>/Layers");
