MapView

    • MapView is an Android View that displays a Google Map and handles user interactions.

    • You must forward lifecycle methods from the hosting Activity or Fragment to the MapView .

    • Use getMapAsync(OnMapReadyCallback) to get a GoogleMap instance to work with.

    • For a simpler map display, consider using MapFragment or SupportMapFragment .

    • Avoid adding child views directly to a MapView .
    public class MapView extends FrameLayout

    A View which displays a map (with data obtained from the Google Maps service). When focused, it will capture keypresses and touch gestures to move the map.

    Users of this class must forward all the life cycle methods from the Activity or Fragment containing this view to the corresponding ones in this class. In particular, you must forward on the following methods:

    A GoogleMap must be acquired using getMapAsync(OnMapReadyCallback) . The MapView automatically initializes the maps system and the view.

    For a simpler method of displaying a Map use MapFragment (or SupportMapFragment ) if you are looking to target earlier platforms.

    Note: You are advised not to add children to this view.
