How to add custom controls to MapFragment in Google Maps Android API v2?

Question

I have SupportMapFragment and I need to add custom controls into it for changing a map type. Calling getView(), I get NoSaveStateFramelayout and I don't think it is a good idea to add it directly into it or its children.

What is the best way how can I can add a button over my map for changing the map type?

Answer 1

I have decided to override onCreateView and encapsulate the map in the code.

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup viewGroup, Bundle bundle) {
    View mapView = super.onCreateView(inflater, viewGroup, bundle);
    RelativeLayout view = new RelativeLayout(getActivity());
    view.addView(mapView, new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(-1, -1));
    // working with view
    return view;
}

And it works as I needed.
