How to create a custom maplayer in which we can increase zoom levels more than 21

Question

googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NONE);

Here MAP_TYPE_NONE is one of the google default map type, if I can create one map layer like that, it would help me increasing the zoom levels.

Since I heard that we can increase zoom levels by creating our own custom map layer, so please help in creating custom layer with max zoom levels?

you can add whatever custom map layer you want, the most beautiful is to add a WMS service, or OSM maps.

regarding WMS, here it is my answer on another topic: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33912249/4120431

for OSM, i usually use mapquest (whose has levels over 21):

 private static TileProvider mMapQuestTileProvider = null;
 public static TileProvider getMapQuestOSMBackGroundTileProvider() {
        if (null == mMapQuestTileProvider) {
            mMapQuestTileProvider = new UrlTileProvider(256, 256) {

                @Override
                public URL getTileUrl(int x, int y, int z) {
                    try {
                        String f = "http://otile1.mqcdn.com/tiles/1.0.0/osm/%d/%d/%d.png";
                        return new URL(String.format(f, z, x, y));
                    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                        return null;
                    }
                }
            };

        }
        return mMapQuestTileProvider;
    }

------------
TileProvider tileProvider = getMapQuestOSMBackGroundTileProvider();
TileOverlay tileOverlay = myMap.addTileOverlay(new TileOverlayOptions()
.tileProvider(tileProvider));

Hope it helps

PS: You MUST keep google maps type to NONE in order to have levels over 21, otherwise you are limited by the lowest level available (21 in gmaps maps)
