Google Maps API v2 SupportMapFragment inside ScrollView - users cannot scroll the map vertically

Question

I am trying to put a Google map inside a scroll view, so that the user can scroll down other contents to see the map. The problem is that this scroll view is eating up all t

Answer 1

Apply a transparent image over the mapview fragment.

Then set requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true) for the main ScrollView. When the user touches the transparent image and moves disable the touch on the transparent image for MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN and MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE so that map fragment can take Touch Events.

ScrollView mainScrollView = (ScrollView) findViewById(R.id.main_scrollview);
ImageView transparentImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.transparent_image);

transparentImageView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        int action = event.getAction();
        switch (action) {
           case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                // Disallow ScrollView to intercept touch events.
                mainScrollView.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                // Disable touch on transparent view
                return false;

           case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                // Allow ScrollView to intercept touch events.
                mainScrollView.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false);
                return true;

           case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                mainScrollView.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                return false;

           default: 
                return true;
        }   
    }
});

This worked for me. Hope it helps you..
