I\'m writing a app that would take 9 snapshots of the map around an area when the user presses a button.
In loop, using this to move and save:
map.mo
Try using the ViewStub class to help you with lazy loading of your map. You can detect when the map is loaded using this code:
ViewStub
public void onShowMap(View v) { // where you put the MapView layout in ViewStub view ViewStub.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); }
