Using OSM to develope android app

3

I have just started programming in JAVA and Android. I have been able to make an android app in which i store markers in a MySql database which i fetch using PHP and display them in a map overlay. Also i have allowed adding markers to the database as well. I am doing all this using Google Maps API and i would also like to do the same using Open Street Map. I would be thankful if anybody gave me some hints on how to do this or some links that would be useful to me.

Thank you in Advance.

osmdroid provides an almost drop-in replacement for the default Google maps services: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmdroid
