How to use MapView in android using google map V2?

Question

I want to show a map in on of my activity.

In google map V1 we use -

 <com.google.android.maps.MapView         android:id="@+id/mapview"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         android:apiKey="@string/api_map_key"         android:clickable="true"         android:enabled="true" /> 

and extend the activity by using MapActivity class.

In Versing 2 it uses Fragment instead of mapview and have to extend activity by FragmentActivity instead normal Activity. ex-

<fragment             android:id="@+id/map"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="match_parent"             class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" /> 

Now Can I use Same way to create mapview instead of Fragment using version 2 .()

Can anyone use MapView using V2?

Answer 2

More complete sample from here and here.

Or you can check out my layout sample. p.s no need to put API key in the map view.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"               android:orientation="vertical"               android:layout_width="match_parent"               android:layout_height="match_parent">      <com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView             android:id="@+id/map_view"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="match_parent"             android:layout_weight="2"             />      <ListView android:id="@+id/nearby_lv"               android:layout_width="match_parent"               android:layout_height="match_parent"               android:background="@color/white"               android:layout_weight="1"             />  </LinearLayout>
