Apps show other widgets with MapView

[usml]

Can't get this to work (simplified layout xml) --
<LinearLayout>
<TextView android:text="text1" ... />
<com.google.android.maps.MapView

android:layout_width​

​

​

​

="fill_parent"​

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
... />
<TextView android:text="text2" ... />
</LinearLayout>

Only "text1" and the mapview show up, "text2" not displayed. Replaced "LinearLayout" with "RelativeLayout" (with proper "android:layout_xxx" setups), the same problem.

Even though "text1" get displayed, it appears that it's displayed ON TOP of the map, not side by side. So, it seems that the MapView always take the whole display space.

Any idea on how to make "text2" shown? Thanks.

try giving value to width like - android:layout_width="200dip" etc breaking the screen width as you want, for the UI elements.
