I have two activities, ListViewActivity and MapViewActivity which both run within a TabHost; everything is working fine and I am able to view my list, add POIs to the map, change between tabs etc.
What I have also done is to 'extend' my ListViewActivity so that when an item in the List is clicked, the view is switched (via ViewSwitcher) to show more detail (note: this happens within the same tab); again this all works okay and I am able to flip between the list view and the detailed view which contains text elements, buttons etc.
But, since I've only been programming in Android/JAVA for a few weeks, I've hit a brick wall... and need some pointers/high level examples to get me going again.
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:id="@+id/mapView"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:apiKey="0sQLOXF5j7iM03sd-IyVldoGjh0voa5-qqFRRlw"
android:clickable="false"
android:enabled="true" />
Specifically, I want the 'extended/detailed' view within the ListViewActivity to include a detailed/zoomed map. However, when I try to include the map definition in my XML code (see above), it causes the application to crash - I am assuming because there is already a map defined in MapViewActivity (i.e. this code appears in both my ListViewActivity.xml and my MapViewActivity.xml files)?
I've read found other pages such as this, which recommend using the android:process attribute in the manifest to assign acitivites, for example:
activity android:name=".activity.directory.MapView1" android:process=":MapView1"
activity android:name=".activity.directory.MapView2" android:process=":MapView2"
However, I am uncertain how to implement this - i.e. how do I call the process from either the ListViewActivity or MapViewActivity class such that either a detailed or high-level map is displayed?
Currrently my AndroidManifest.XML file is as shown below; I know this is incorrect, but like I said, I'm stuck in figuring out how to have a map both in my ListViewActivity and in my MapViewActivity:
<application
android:icon="@drawable/launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<activity
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:name=".DummyAppName" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".ListViewActivity"/>
<activity android:name=".MapViewActivity"/>
<activity android:name=".FavouritesActivity"/>
<activity android:name=".SettingsActivity"/>
<activity android:name=".activity.directory.MapView1" android:process=":MapView1"/>
<activity android:name=".activity.directory.MapView2" android:process=":MapView2"/>
Sorry for the long post. I hope it makes sense and I hope someone is able to offer some ideas/suggestions on how to fix my problem (is it even possible?).
Thank you!
