Firstly tell what version of google maps do you use v1 - https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/v1/ v2 - https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start

Usually what you need to do is to put you two layouts inside FrameLayout and show/hide one of them when you click on particular button. But to be more specific we need to see your code.

1) MapView is used by GoogleMapsV1. But it needs an api key provided by google for individual developers upon registration.

Unfortunately, which is closed by google and you have to use GoogleMapV2 with new V2 key.

Also, workout with fragments because, here we are using Fragment or SupportFragment.

2) You can use a FrameLayout inside which your two overlapped views with id's. So that you can show or hide views at same position as you need.

Please try to use bellow code.

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/buttonLayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="button1" />

    <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="button2" />
</LinearLayout>

<ViewFlipper
    android:id="@+id/viewFliper"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_below="@+id/buttonLayout" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

    <com.google.android.maps.MapView
        android:id="@+id/mapView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:apiKey="your map key map_key"
        android:clickable="true"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:focusable="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true" />
</ViewFlipper>

is there any library file to add for this one. – Yugesh Jun 15 '13 at 12:44 — Yugesh, Jun 15 '13 at 12:44
