Is it possible to use Loaders class in MapActivity?
<p>I have an android app to regularly record locations and store in a db in the background. db comes with content provider. use alarm receiver and service to set repetitive record task. </p>

<p>Now I'd like to put pins on a map using data(lat&amp;long) in the db. I currently use a Loader to load the cursor and read data from db and then put them into a list view in a <code>fragment activity</code> (using support package v13 in 2.3.3 platform). However I could not figure out a way to convert this into drawing on a map view in a map acvivity instead. If my activity extends <code>MapActivity</code>, I cannot use method <code>getSupporLoaderManager().iniLoader(...)</code> to initialize the loader as it says error.</p>

<p>I want to keep the loader because it seems it processes faster if data size is large. My question is, how to read data using <code>Loader</code> class in <code>MapActivity</code>? If not possible, what is a better way to read data and draw on the map?</p>

<p>Any suggestion or answer appreciated.</p>
