Open Street Map ArcGIS on Android

I am wondering if it is possible to add an openstreetmap tile layer to a MapView using the Android API? Or is it only esri map servers that work?

Thanks

You can open the layer in ArcMap using the ArcGIS Online, save it to an MXD, publish the service, and hit the service with ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer class. I have also cached the data using the server cache tools in toolbox, copied the data to the device, and called ArcGISLocalTiledLayer, so I can use the maps offline.

I mean, can I use the open street map public tile server as the source for tiles for my mapview instead of ArcGIS or Bing Maps?

Hi all!

Even as webmap the OSM basemap does not work in the ESRI-Android-App.
However, this webmap works well in the ESRI-iOS-App.

Question to the ESRI-Experts: What should we do now?
Any suggestions to solve this problem?
