Using MapFragment with min sdk-8

Question

I wish to use google maps in my app. For that, I am using MapFragment. MapFragment requires minimum sdk version 11. But I wish to have minimum sdk version as 8 so that my app works for Android 2.2 and above. When I use MapView I do not get the map. I just get the grids in the map. How do I resolve this? Need Help.

MapView is deprecated, and I wouldn't count on it being available forever. Do you absolutely need to have Android 2.2 support? — Joe Malin, Apr 18 '13 at 17:46
