Answer 1

Answer 2

private void setUpMapTypeScreen() {
    if (mapType.equalsIgnoreCase("Satellite")) {
        mapView.setSatellite(true);
        // mapView.setStreetView(false);
    } else if (mapType.equalsIgnoreCase("StreetView")) {
        mapView.setSatellite(false);
        // mapView.setStreetView(true);
    }
    mapView.invalidate();
}

mapType is a user defined string variable. Not false the previous view type when switching to view types. that the error we made, only set the view type you required.

Answer 3

Besides removing mapController.setStreetView(true), there is also another thing that should be added to the layout XML..

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<com.google.android.maps.MapView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/mapa" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:apiKey="YOUR API KEY"
    android:clickable="true"></com.google.android.maps.MapView>

Note the xml namespace after com.google.android.maps.MapView. After adding the namespace, the cross tiles disappeared. Don't know if it's a bug or the namespace is necessary in order for the api render the map correctly. Either way, it worked.
