MapActivity in a fragment

Question

I have a FragmentActivity:

public class parking extends FragmentActivity { }

It has 3 tabs, the second and third are lists, solved.

public class tab2 extends Fragment{ }

But the first one is a map, so, I can't extend Fragment and a MapActivity.

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

There is no support for MapFragment, Android team says is working on it since Android 3.0. Here more information about the issue http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15347&utm_source=buffer&buffer_share=acc72 But what you can do is create a Fragment that returns a MapActivity. Here is a code example. Thanks to inazaruk: https://github.com/inazaruk/examples/tree/master/MapFragmentExample How it works:

• MainFragmentActivity is the activity that extends FragmentActivity and hosts two MapFragments.
• MyMapActivity extends MapActivity and has MapView.
• LocalActivityManagerFragment hosts LocalActivityManager.
• MyMapFragment extends LocalActivityManagerFragment and with help of TabHost creates internal instance of MyMapActivity.

if you have any doubt please let me know
