Use ActionBarSherlock with Google map API V2

Question

I want to use ActionBarSherlock with a Google map API V2. I've read a solution in here. But when extend my main ActionBarSherlock class, it missing so much lib for menthod ( like: findViewById, getSupportActionBar ..)

this is my ActionBarSherlock

public class FeatureToggles extends SherlockMapFragment  {
    private static final Random RANDOM  = new Random();
    private int                         items       = 0;

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
        for(int i = 0; i < items; i++) {
            menu.add("Text").setIcon(R.drawable.ic_title_share_default).setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_IF_ROOM | MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_WITH_TEXT);
        }
        return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock); // Used for theme switching in samples
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_INDETERMINATE_PROGRESS);
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.feature_toggles);
        setSupportProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
        setSupportProgressBarVisibility(false);
        getSupportActionBar().setCustomView(R.layout.custom_view);
        getSupportActionBar().setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(false);
        Context context = getSupportActionBar().getThemedContext();
        ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> listAdapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(context, R.array.locations, R.layout.sherlock_spinner_item);
        listAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.sherlock_spinner_dropdown_item);
        getSupportActionBar().setListNavigationCallbacks(listAdapter, null);



//      if (savedInstanceState == null) {
//          // Do first time initialization -- add initial fragment.
//          Fragment newFragment = CountingFragment.newInstance(mStackLevel);
//          FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
//          ft.add(R.id.simple_fragment, newFragment).commit();
//      } else {
//          mStackLevel = savedInstanceState.getInt("level");
//      }   
//      
//      findViewById(R.id.new_fragment).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

    }
}

Answer 1

Here is my approach with a full Screen map (note that using GoogleMap API V2 within a fragment within a Tab of you ABS will add some awefull black margin when you swipe, and it's a API issue so...) :

A layout for the map fragment :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    class="com.package.TransparentSupportMapFragment" />

A class for the map (that could be useful to do some stuff like correcting API bugs..)

public class TransparentSupportMapFragment extends SupportMapFragment {
    public TransparentSupportMapFragment() {

        super();
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup view, Bundle savedInstance) {

        View layout = super.onCreateView(inflater, view, savedInstance);
        FrameLayout frameLayout = new FrameLayout(getActivity());
        frameLayout.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));
        ((ViewGroup) layout).addView(frameLayout, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
        return layout;
    }
}

A FragmentActivity (or SherlockFragmentActivity)

public class ActivityGoogleMap extends SherlockFragmentActivity{

    GoogleMap _googleMap;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);

        // abs
        ActionBar bar = getSupportActionBar();
        bar.setTitle(R.string.tle_abs);
        bar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

        // map
        _googleMap = ((TransparentSupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById((R.id.map))).getMap();
}

A simple transition without animation :

Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityGoogleMap.class);
startActivity(intent);

Now for the Manifest work :

OpenGLES2 :

    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true" />

Some permissions :

     <permission
        android:name="com.egdigital.appetablissement.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<!-- GPS LOCATION -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ASSISTED_GPS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

Your API key in Application :

<meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="HERE_THE_KEY" />

Your MapActivity :

<activity
    android:name=".ActivityGoogleMap"
    android:configChanges="orientation"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
</activity>

Hope it will helps good luck
