Adding a map to a class - google-maps

Question

Hello I would like to add a map (static image) to a page. I will try to explain what I have done so far and what my problem is as good as I can in case someone else has the same problem in the future.
I have done the following:
1. Updated the Manifest file with permissions/API (got the API (from Google API Console) key using the SHA1 from Eclipse using Window > Preferences > Build
2. Updated the XML file of the class where the map will be added
3. Added some Java code into the classes Java file
Below is the Manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="net.learn2develop.lapmaster"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/lapmaster_icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="net.learn2develop.lapmaster.LapMasterActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:label="Logged In"
android:name=".UserLoggedInScreen" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="net.learn2develop.UserLoggedInScreen" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:label="Track Listing"
android:name=".ListOfCircuits" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="net.learn2develop.ListOfCircuits" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:label="Snetterton"
android:name=".Snetterton" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="net.learn2develop.Snetterton" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<!-- Other activities -->
<!-- Google Play Services -->
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="Various" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />
</application>
</manifest>
Below is the class XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />
Below is the class Java:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
public class Snetterton extends Activity
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.snetterton);
SupportMapFragment map = ((SupportMapFragment)
.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
}
}
As you can probably guess from my code I am creating an app for race tracks. In the class called Snetterton I want to add a picture (Google maps) of Snetterton.
To get to this page the user:
1. Starts at a login screen (LapMasterActivity)
2. Is greeted with a home page (UserLoggedInScreen)
3. Goes to a page with a list of tracks (for now it is just Snetterton) (ListOFTracks)
4. When the user clicks the button for Snetterton it takes them to the Snetterton class' page where I would like the map. (Snetterton).
In my code only ((SupportMapFragment) is underlined.
Thanks.

Answer 1

Answered this myself (eventually):
Code I used is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayoutFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<fragment
android:id="#+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
public class TopGear extends Activity
{
private GoogleMap aMap;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.top_gear);
aMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
aMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false);
LatLng topGearTrack = new LatLng(51.116492, -0.541767);
aMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
aMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(topGearTrack, 15));
aMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.title("Top Gear")
.snippet("Welcome to the famous Top Gear circuit.")
.position(topGearTrack));
aMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);
setUpMapIfNeeded();
}
public void setUpMapIfNeeded()
{
//Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the map.
if (aMap == null)
{
aMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
//Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (aMap != null)
{
//The Map is verified. It is now safe to manipulate the map.
}
}
}
}
