MapFragment gets a dark overlay when used in DialogActivity

Question

I\'m trying to show a MapFragment of the Android Maps v2 API in an Activity with the @android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light.Di

Answer 1

I got the same problem. After some research, I found two hacks :

• Add this param for your theme in the styles.xml :
  false

Bad part : it removes the black overlays behind the activity.

• Set the z order on the top for the map object :
  GoogleMapOptions googleMapsOptions = new GoogleMapOptions();
googleMapsOptions.zOrderOnTop( true );
MapFragment mapFragment = MapFragment.newInstance(googleMapsOptions);

Bad part : The map is above the Zoom control and MyLocation button.

Personnaly, I choose the first solution.
Hope this help !
