How to load map tiles fast in my android project ?

In my app all thing work properly but map not loading.I have try both way offline and online but map not loading.

This is my android code :-

MapView map = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapView); 
map.setMultiTouchControls(true);
map.setClickable(true);
map.setMinZoomLevel(4);
map.getController().setZoom(13);
map.setUseDataConnection(false);
map.setTileSource(TileSourceFactory.MAPQUESTOSM);

I have used osmdroid-android-4.2.jar, slf4j-android-1.5.8.jar, and OSMBonusPack. for creating map and map functionality.

And also the tile loading is very 'blocky' and not load

Does the problem persist when switching to a different tile provider? At the moment you seem to be using MapQuest Open.

Hello there! Wrong party. Try the issue queue for OSMdroid https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid/issues

This help forum is all about the OpenStreetMap.org mapping project but not any software you might use to create maps.

If you are using map only for marker display purpose use lite map special feature by google map Lite Mode

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
map:cameraZoom="13"
map:mapType="normal"
map:liteMode="true"/>

map:liteMode="true" it will make map in lite mode with some limitation
AND
For too many marker go with clustering of marker google link
clustering will increase readability of map BEFORE CLUSTER
