title: embed MapView into Activity
body: <p>I am trying to embed MapView into FrameLayout of an activity for example ,</p>
  
  <p><strong>UserActivity</strong> layout</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt;
  &lt;FrameLayout android:id="@+id/map_frame" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:padding="0.0dip" android:clipChildren="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginTop="4.0dip"&gt;  
         &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/map_img" android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_width="294.0dip" android:layout_height="136.0dip" android:src="@drawable/place_map_frame" /&gt;
  &lt;/FrameLayout&gt;    
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here , inside FrameLayout i want to display MapView when ever the list item gets clicked
  for some reason its not possible to directly put inside framelayout so just because of that i created another activity which extends MapActivity</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;com.google.android.maps.MapView 
  android:layout_gravity="center" 
  android:id="@+id/mapview" 
  android:clickable="true" 
  android:layout_width="294.0dip" 
  android:layout_height="136.0dip" 
  android:layout_centerInParent="true" 
  android:apiKey="@string/google_maps_key" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>UserMap</strong> layout</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt;
      &lt;com.google.android.maps.MapView android:layout_gravity="center" android:id="@+id/mapview" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="294.0dip" android:layout_height="136.0dip" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:apiKey="@string/google_maps_key" /&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Here is the code for both the activities</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code>import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;
  
  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  
  public class UserMap extends MapActivity {
  
  
      @Override 
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.user_map);
  
  
      }
      @Override
      protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          return false;
      }
  
  }
  
  
  
  import android.app.Activity;
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import android.widget.FrameLayout;
  import android.widget.ImageView;
  
  public class UserActivity extends Activity {
  
  
      @Override 
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
           super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  
           setContentView(R.layout.user_activity);                          
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now , i want to embed a UserMap into UserActivity's FrameLayout and UserActivity will be called when a list item get clicked.</p>
