Question

I am trying to show maps in android using API v2.
I want UI some thing like this.But whenever I try to add button in layout it does not reflect in output
I am able to get maps without buttons.
I need buttons to integrate with map like below
code for Mylayout.xml:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MapActivity" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp">
<LinearLayout 
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<RadioGroup 
android:id="@+id/radio_group_list_selector"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1"

>
<RadioButton
android:id="@+id/radioPopular"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:text="@string/Popular"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:button="@null"
android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:textColor="@drawable/textcolor_radiobutton"

/>
<View
android:id="@+id/VerticalLine"
android:layout_width="1dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dip"

Maybe a simpler solution is to set an overlay in front of your map using FrameLayout or RelativeLayout and treating them as regular buttons in your activity. You should declare your layers in back to front order, e.g., map before buttons. I modified your layout, simplified it a little bit. Try the following layout and see if it works for you:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MapActivity" >

    <fragment xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"  
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

    <RadioGroup 
        android:id="@+id/radio_group_list_selector"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="48dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal" 
        android:background="#80000000"
        android:padding="4dp" >

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioPopular"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:text="@string/Popular"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton"
            android:textColor="@color/textcolor_radiobutton" />
        <View
            android:id="@+id/VerticalLine"
            android:layout_width="1dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="#aaa" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioAZ"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
            android:text="@string/AZ"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton2"
            android:textColor="@color/textcolor_radiobutton" />

        <View
            android:id="@+id/VerticalLine"
            android:layout_width="1dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="#aaa" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioCategory"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
            android:text="@string/Category"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton2"
            android:textColor="@color/textcolor_radiobutton" />
        <View
            android:id="@+id/VerticalLine"
            android:layout_width="1dip"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="#aaa" />

        <RadioButton
            android:id="@+id/radioNearBy"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
            android:text="@string/NearBy"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_radiobutton3"
            android:textColor="@color/textcolor_radiobutton" />
    </RadioGroup>
</FrameLayout>
