Question

I’ve got an app using MapActivity.onCreate() to initialize the map and show it on screen. Now I would like to add a menu to my app. From what I’ve found out I can’t add a menu from MapActivity and need to use Activity (correct me if I’m wrong).

Now I have no idea how to “initialize” the map from my Activity-class.

And how would I have to fix the views, will I wrap my activity-layout around my Map-layout?

Answer 1

MapActivity extends a regular Android Activity, so there’s nothing irregular you should need to do to create a menu.

Just override the onCreateOptionsMenu method, as shown in the developers’ guide.
