var previousLayer: KmlLayer? = null
while(true) {
	previousLayer?.removeLayerFromMap()
	map.clear()
	val inputStream = FileInputStream(tempFile)
	val layer = KmlLayer(map, inputStream, activity)
	layer.addLayerToMap()
	inputStream.close()
	delay(10_000)
	previousLayer = layer
}
Line:
delay(10_000)Is maybe most important, since it seems that garbage collection need some time to release memory.

In gradle "\GoogleMapsTestSandBox\app\build.gradle.kts" add dependency:
implementation("com.google.maps.android:android-maps-utils:3.19.0")
Now, setup view binding as I already explained here, MainActivity I will inherit from OnMapReadyCallback, so now it looks like:
package com.milosev.googlemapstestsandbox
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng
import com.milosev.googlemapstestsandbox.databinding.ActivityMainBinding
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(), OnMapReadyCallback {
    private lateinit var binding: ActivityMainBinding
    private lateinit var map: GoogleMap
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding.root)
        val mapFragment = supportFragmentManager
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map) as SupportMapFragment
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this)
        binding.btnLoadKml.setOnClickListener {
        }
    }
    override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap) {
        map = googleMap
        val tunis = LatLng(36.8065, 10.1815)
        map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(tunis, 8f))
    }
}
setOnClickListener  is empty, here I will add:
val loadKml = LoadKml() loadKml.execute(this, map)Since my KML is too big, I had to extend timeouts, and first I am saving in into temp file, so class LoadKml will look like this:
package com.milosev.googlemapstestsandbox
import android.content.Context
import android.widget.Toast
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap
import com.google.maps.android.data.kml.KmlLayer
import kotlinx.coroutines.CoroutineScope
import kotlinx.coroutines.Dispatchers
import kotlinx.coroutines.launch
import kotlinx.coroutines.withContext
import java.io.File
import java.io.FileInputStream
import java.net.URL
class LoadKml {
    fun execute(activity: Context, map: GoogleMap) {
        CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
            try {
                val url =
                    URL("https://www.milosev.com/gallery/allWithPics/travelBuddies/tunis/kml/kml.kml")
                val connection = url.openConnection()
                connection.connectTimeout = 15000
                connection.readTimeout = 60000
                val tempFile = File(activity.cacheDir, "temp.kml")
                connection.getInputStream().use { input ->
                    tempFile.outputStream().use { output ->
                        input.copyTo(output)
                    }
                }
                withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
                    val layer = KmlLayer(map, FileInputStream(tempFile), activity)
                    layer.addLayerToMap()
                    Toast.makeText(activity, "KML Loaded", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
                }
            } catch (e: Exception) {
                withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
                    Toast.makeText(activity, "Error: ${e.message}", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.androidx.core.ktx)
    implementation(libs.androidx.appcompat)
    implementation(libs.material)
    implementation(libs.androidx.activity)
    implementation(libs.androidx.constraintlayout)
    testImplementation(libs.junit)
    androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.junit)
    androidTestImplementation(libs.androidx.espresso.core)
    implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:19.2.0")
}
Since I don't want to make google maps key public, I will add "secrets" file. To do it, first I wil add id("com.google.android.libraries.mapsplatform.secrets-gradle-plugin") version "2.0.1" plugin in gradle "\GoogleMapsTestSandBox\app\build.gradle.kts":
plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.android.application)
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.android)
    id("com.google.android.libraries.mapsplatform.secrets-gradle-plugin") version "2.0.1"
}
Before I sync my gradle, I need to add two files local.defaults.properties and secrets.properties.
local.defaults.properties:
MAPS_API_KEY=DEFAULT_API_KEYsecrets.properties:
sdk.dir=C\:\\Users\\smilosev\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk MAPS_API_KEY=myMapsApiKey;Now in "\GoogleMapsTestSandBox\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml" add:
<meta-data
	android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
	android:value="${MAPS_API_KEY}" />
Since in this example I just want to display google maps my "\GoogleMapsTestSandBox\app\src\main\res\layout\activity_main.xml" will look like:
<fragment
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />
For this, simplest example my "\GoogleMapsTestSandBox\app\src\main\java\com\milosev\googlemapstestsandbox\MainActivity.kt" will look like:
package com.milosev.googlemapstestsandbox
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.activity.enableEdgeToEdge
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        enableEdgeToEdge()
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    }
}
