Here is a step by step solution:

In brief:

1- You must download map tiles using Mobile Atlas Creator. I have explained the steps HERE

2- Move the resulting zip-file to /mnt/sdcard/osmdroid/ on your device.

3- Adding osmdroid-android-XXX.jar and slf4j-android-1.5.8.jar into build path your project

4- Adding MapView: You can add a MapView to your xml layout

Or create a MapView programmatically:

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    mResourceProxy = new ResourceProxyImpl(inflater.getContext().getApplicationContext());
    mMapView = new MapView(inflater.getContext(), 256, mResourceProxy);
    return mMapView;
}

Don't forget to add these permissions to your Manifest:

This is a good Sample Project. Hope it Helps ;)

Important

As @Scai mentioned: recently Open Street Map announced that this tool is not good and had some problems:

This tool results in heavy traffic for the OSM tile servers and is likely to be blocked. Please don't use it.
