Anyone know of a library for integrating OpenStreetMap in Android? I try with OSMDROID and MapsForge, any more? It's curious but I only find free libraries.

Google Map has more coverage as compared to OpenStreetMap in many countries, which makes it the leading map in many countries like the United States and Japan. OpenStreetMap has a lower coverage, but the user can edit to include the places. Google Map has detailed coverage up to the smallest streets.
Go to OpenStreetMap.org. Search for the location you want as the centre of the map, or use the arrow to Show My Location. Select the desired layers, such as Standard, Cycle Map, Transport etc. Zoom and pan as necessary, using the + and - icons and your mouse.
Download Directly from OSM Simply go to www.openstreetmap.org and find the area you would like to download data for. Hit the “Export” button and you will see a screen with the Extent of the download appear. You can customize this download as either the “current extent” or manually select an area by bounding box.
See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android for a list of software libraries supporting OpenStreetMap on Android. Disclaimer: I am the author of one of them.
