Programmatically add Button to MapFragment / GoogleMap

Question

is there any way to programmatically add a Button to a MapFragment or directly onto a GoogleMap object without using XML?

Thanks!

Of course there is, well not directly to the map fragment, but you can place any layout you want above it ( LinearLayout , RelativeLayout ...) in your layout file and then add a view to this layout programmaticly as you would with another, using this method:

layout.addView(YourButtonYouWantToAdd);

That way your button will appear on top of your map fragment.
