title: Satellite Map Type not working
body: <p>Respected members, I am working on a basic Google Maps application. I have implemented some functionalities like GPS check, Internet check, working internet check etc for this app. I have just added an options menu at top with one single SATELLITE TYPE map. I have WRITTEN the correct code but whenever I click on SATELLITE option to change my map view, the app CLOSES itself. There is no error being shown in the terminal. App is working fine for all the other things. I can't figure out where I'm doing wrong which is closing my app rather than loading a specific map type.
  Following is my main_menu XML resource file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
      &lt;item
          android:id="@+id/SatelliteType"
      android:title="@string/satellite"/&gt;
  &lt;/menu&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Following is the Java code. Please let me know if I need to elaborate the things more clearly to understand my mistake / shortcomings in this coding practice:</p>
