title: Can I change a SupportMapFragment to a Mapview on Google Maps v2?
body: <p>Does Google allow using MapView versus MapFragments or SupportMapFragments on v2?  I have a layer.xml file that is using the SupportMapFragment how do I change it to a MapView while utilizing the LinearLayout and RelativeLayouts I am using below?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

      android:orientation="vertical" &gt;
  
  
      &lt;Button
          android:id="@+id/btn_draw"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:text=" Get Directions"

  <p>How does it change my code as well?</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
   * Shows the users current location on the map
   */
  private void showCurrentLocationOnMap(){
      lm = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
      mf= (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
  
      map = mf.getMap();
  
      //map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
  
      ll = new PointLocationListener();
  
      boolean isGPS = lm.isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
  
      if (!isGPS){
          Intent intent = new Intent("android.location.GPS_ENABLED_CHANGE");
          intent.putExtra("enabled", true);
          sendBroadcast(intent);
      }
  
      lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 10000, 10, ll);
  }
  </code></pre>
