How can i render Google Maps Android API v2 on a TextureView?

Question

According to this comment, Google Maps Android API v2 relies on SurfaceView to display the map. And view animations doesn't work with SurfaceView. This is the problem that i'm facing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBWvRxV64WU (the MapView is flickering when the slide animation starts). I think that using TextureView this problem may not occur. So, how can i render Google Maps on a TextureView?

--- UPDATE ---
Google Maps Team fixed this issue on API 16: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=4839

Get a job at Google, join the Maps team, and implement a modification to the closed-source Maps V2 library to use TextureView on supported devices.

Otherwise, you cannot change this, as it is not open source, and therefore you cannot modify it.

Sorry!
