HERE Map/MapView without using MapFragment

Question

Is there a way to get a Map or MapView without placing a MapFragmet inside a Layout?

Answer 1

You can have a com.here.android.mpa.mapping.MapView in your layout without the use of a fragment.

Simply call new com.here.android.mpa.mapping.Map() and call com.here.android.mpa.mapping.MapView#setMap( map ) to attach the map to the map view.

Note you can only attach each map to a single map view. Also, make sure to call Mapview#onPause() and MapView#onResume() or the underlying textureview will not work correctly!
