Embedding Map Activity in another activity in Android

Question

I would like to make the google maps viewable in another activity, that is, it does not take the entire screen. Is it possible to embed a google map map activty in another activity, so that, let's say, it takes half or 3/4 of the screen please?

Thanks in advance!

Try this:

You can use MapView as any other view - position and size as you like.

If you want to place MapView into ScrollView here is good solution to make sure it works correctly: MapView inside a ScrollView?

You can include MapView in layout and code for the same in MapActivity with the portion you want for it.

Why do you want for it in another activity?

I basically have an activity which contains other information, and it wouldn't b ideal to have the map view on a seperate activity. do you mean including an inner layout inside the parent activity? – William Aug 07 '12 at 09:00
Can't you manage this *other information* inside MapActivity? – Paresh Mayani Aug 07 '12 at 09:03
Probably I can if the MapActivity extends Activity, however, I would need to resize the MapView itself. – William Aug 07 '12 at 09:04
