MapView in SherlockActivity

Issue

My MainActivity extends SherlockActivity to implement the Actionbar on devices with lower Android versions. I want to show a little MapView in the MainActivity, but apparently I need my MainActivity to extend MapActivity:

E/AndroidRuntime(2955): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: MapViews can only be created inside instances of MapActivity.

The MapView is inflated from an xml file.

How would I do this?

Solution

You would install the maps add-on for ActionBarSherlock and use it, presumably. See the "Google Maps" portion of http://actionbarsherlock.com/download.html.
