MapFragment in ScrollView

Question

I have one of the new MapFragments in a ScrollView. Actually it\'s a SupportMapFragment, but anyway. It works, but there are two problems:

Answer 1

Done after lots of R&D:

fragment_one.xml should looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/scrollViewParent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="400dip" >

            <com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
                android:id="@+id/mapView"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent" />

            <View
                android:id="@+id/customView"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:background="@android:color/transparent" />
        </RelativeLayout>

        <!-- Your other elements are here -->

    </LinearLayout>

</ScrollView>

Your Java class of FragmentOne.java looks like:

private GoogleMap mMap;
private MapView mapView;
private UiSettings mUiSettings;
private View customView

onCreateView

mapView = (MapView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.mapView);
mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

if (mapView != null) {
   mMap = mapView.getMap();
   mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
   mUiSettings = mMap.getUiSettings();
   mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
   mUiSettings.setCompassEnabled(true); 
   mUiSettings.setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);
}


scrollViewParent = (ScrollView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.scrollViewParent);
customView = (View)rootView.findViewById(R.id.customView);

customView.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.
                        scrollViewParent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true);
                        // Disable touch on transparent view
                        return false;

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

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

                    default:
                        return true;
                }
            }
        });

Answer 2

This probably has its roots in the same place at causes the problem in this question. The solution there is to use a transparent frame, which is a little lighter weight than a transparent image.
