How do you "set the correct layout for the correct activity"? Is
there something to put in the manifest or the layout file? I'm doing
this in the main Activity -
setContentView(R.layout.main);
and this in the MapActivity -
setContentView(R.layout.mymapvieww);
It dies at the first step - setContentView(R.layout.main) with this
message "MapViews can only be created inside instances of
MapActivity". If I remove the file layout/mymapview.xml the problem
goes away.
