I’ve created a map fragment as seen here MapView in a Fragment (Honeycomb) and it works great.

The issue is when i have another map fragment in the following activity.

Activity A has a MapFragment taking up the entire page. Activity B has a MapFragment that takes up only half the page (the bottom half has a ListFragment). Both work fine but when i click the back button to go from Activity B back to A the map view only takes up half the page and the bottom half of the page has refresh issues.

The mapviews state isn’t saved independent of the other either. For example: When going from Activty A to Activity B the map displays the same. This is fine. But if the user pans around or zooms the map in activity B. When the user goes back to Activity A the map doesn’t go back to where it was when that activity was paused (This obviously isn’t a major issue as i can manually save the state and reposition. would be handy if it was handled for me though).

This is how Activity A looks after returning back from Activity B
Incorrect Refreshed Mapview

    You asked to let you know if there’s a better solution – there is now. Google released Android Maps API v2 which gives you MapFragment. Now it should work like a charm.
