Is it possible to show a mapView in a dialog in Android?

Issue

Here is my code:

    Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.show_info_with_map);
    dialog.setTitle(title);
    dialog.setCancelable(true);
    dialog.show();

show_info_with_map is a layout file with a maoView and some textView. I did added the user-library and extended MapActivty. But I am still getting the following error:

E/AndroidRuntime(23846): android.view.InflateException:

Binary XML file line #108: Error inflating class com.google.android.maps.MapView

Solution

Absolutely! Add android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" to your map activity in the manifest, it comes up as a dialog. You can then control how the dialog appears by tweaking your map activity layout
