How to add a menu to MapActivity?
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.
Answer 2
MapActivity extends Activity, so you should be able to add a menu.

MapActivity is a subclass of Activity, and thus you do it the same way as in any normal Activity (instructions here). I've been able to successfully create menus the same way in MapActivity as in a normal Activity.

Make sure that it doesn't extend from FragmentActivity but from AppCompatActivity!
If that's the case, the onCreateOptionsMenu method will be called and you are able to overwrite it like this:
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu); //"menu_main" is the XML-File in res
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}

android - Strange activity stack behavior when using MapActivity
I have the following activity structure in my application
A simple "splash screen" activity is started when the application is fired up (let's call it "Splash"). This activity starts the main activity when the user presses a button (I will call it "Main").
Main can in turn start two activities from the menu. The first activity presents a simple form (let's call this one "Form"), the second is a MapActivity...
android - MapView without extending MapActivity

java - Is it possible to use a MapView without having to extend MapActivity?
Currently in my design I've got a base abstract class that all of my activities extend from, however I discovered recently that in order to use a MapView you need to make your activity extend MapActivity. Since Java does not have multiple inheritance I was wondering if there is any way I can use a MapView without having to recreate my design for my application.
Thanks in advance for any help!

java - Resource usage in Google's MapActivity for Android
Does anyone happen to know if Google's MapActivity will eat up extra resources if an Activity does not use Google's MapView? The reason I ask it because I'd like to have a base activity class (which would extend MapActivity) for my activities in my application, but I don't want my resources to be eaten up when the user is in an activity that doesn't utilize Google's MapView.
