When I create a mapView as per the API docs and setContentView(mapView), everything works as expected.However, I need to show a header and footer as well, so I've set up a layout in my main.xml like this:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- HEADER -->
<include android:id="@+id/top_header"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" layout="@layout/window_title" />
<!-- FOOTER -->
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/bottom_menu"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#333333"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">
<!-- menu bar -->
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_edit_feature"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/btn_edit_feature"
android:onClick="chooseFeatureLayer" />
<!-- <include layout="@layout/layout_footer_menu" /> -->
</LinearLayout>
<!-- MAIN PART -->
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/map_container"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="@id/top_header"
android:layout_above="@id/bottom_menu"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="5dp"
android:background="#550000">
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
and then I try to show the mapView in "map_container" with this:mapView = new MapView(this);
mapContainer = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.map_container);
mapContainer.addView(mapView);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
It show's the red background of the LinearLayout (5dp of padding), but the map area is black, and mapView.isLoaded() returns false on a button press. Is there something built into MapView that means it will only initialize if it's displayed via setContentView?
