Answer 1

You can create an instance of a WebView and load the URL of the Google Maps site. You can add parameters to the URL which allows you to use more functionality than is available using the Java-based Google Maps API .

Below code snippet shows how to create instance of a WebView to display a mobile Google Maps URL with parameters in an Android App. The main activity of your app should contain the following lines in its onCreate() method.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.main);

      WebView webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.mywebview);
      webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
      webView.loadUrl("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?
       ll=36.97,%20-122&lci=bike&z=13&t=p&size=500x500&sensor=true");
}
