There are beautifull demos shipped with the android SDK:

If you’d like to look at sample code, the Google APIs add-on includes an example application called MapsDemo that you can load into your development environment and run. The application is located in the Google APIs directory:

/add-ons/google_apis-API_LEVEL/samples/MapsDemo

Edit:

I missread your question in the first place. What you want to do could best be done with a FrameLayout. I.E.:

<FrameLayout 
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <com.google.android.maps.MapView
         android:id="@+id/mapId" 
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent"
         android:enabled="true"
         android:clickable="true"
         android:apiKey="XYX_API_CODE_HERE_XYX"
         />
     <LinearLayout 
         android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical">
           <!-- Your other widgets (buttons, inputBoxes, etc) goes here -->
     </LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
