I\'m trying to implement new Android Google Maps API (v2). However it doesn\'t seem to go well with SlidingMenu. As you may know, MapFragment implementation is
I had the same problem and used a workaround based on changing the "Visibility".
private GoogleMap mMap;
private SupportMapFragment mMapFragment;
mMapFragment = ((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment));
mMap = mMapFragment.getMap();
//Change the visibility to 'INVISIBLE' before the animation to go to another fragment.
mMapFragment.getView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
//Change the visibility to 'VISIBLE' after coming back to the original fragment that has map fragment.
mMapFragment.getView().setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
