Mapping Earthquakes Example
The following step-by-step guide demonstrates how to build a map-based Activity for the Earthquake
project you started in Chapter 5. The new MapActivity will display a map of recent earthquakes using
techniques you learned within this chapter.
1. Create a new earthquake_map.xml layout resource that includes a MapView, being sure to
include an android:id attribute and a android:apiKey attribute that contains your Android
Maps API key.
2. Create a new EarthquakeMap Activity that inherits from MapActivity. Use setContentView
within onCreate to infl ate the earthquake_map resource you created in Step 1.
package com.paad.earthquake;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;
public class EarthquakeMap extends MapActivity {
}
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.earthquake_map);
}
@Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
return false;
}
