Flutter map_view use map_view as widget - google-maps

Question

I would like to ask on how to show the map fullscreen using the function MapView.Show function on map_view dart framework which I couldn't implement as a widget in flutter. see my code below:
MapView showMap() {
return _mapView.show(new MapOptions(
mapViewType: MapViewType.normal,
initialCameraPosition:
new CameraPosition(new Location(10.31264, 123.91139), 12.0),
showUserLocation: true,
));
}
should be put inside the child in widget.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Container(
color: Colors.red,
height: double.infinity,
width: double.infinity,
child: showMap(), // surprisingly not working
);
}
I looked into tutorials on this implementation but it seems I haven't seen any liable sources on this implementation. Does anyone knew how to implement this one? Thanks!
Note: I want to implement as a fullscreen widget.

As far as I know, you have to show the Map_View calling a function when an event happens (like when a button is pressed). It's not a Widget like a Text or a Padding.
If you want to open a fullscreen Map I'd suggest you to try, for example, this.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Container(
color: Colors.red,
height: double.infinity,
width: double.infinity,
child: Center(
child: RaisedButton(
onPressed: () => showMap(),
child: Text("Click me!"),
),
),
);
}
