[android-developers] Maps - difference between satellite and hybrid modes?

2011-03-11 Thread Neilz
Hi all. I can see the difference on Google Maps, but on an Android MapActivity I'm struggling to find the difference. For 'map' I call: mapView.setSatellite(false); For 'satellite' I call: mapView.setSatellite(true); But for hybrid view... I tried playing with mapView.setStreetView(true); but

Hi Kostya. Regarding this info you suggested... the examples seem to demonstrate this for starting and stopping a Service. I'm using an Activity that extends a BroadcastReceiver... can it still be used in the same way? I'm a little confused about how to implement this. Thanks for the help, Neil.
