Android - MapView contained within a Listview

Issue

Currently I am trying to place a MapView within a ListView. Has anyone had any success with this? Is it even possible? Here is my code:

            ListView myList = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);
        List<Map<String, Object>> groupData = new ArrayList<Map<String, Object>>();

        Map<String, Object> curGroupMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        groupData.add(curGroupMap);
        curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.back_icon);
        curGroupMap.put("NAME","Go Back");
        curGroupMap.put("VALUE","By clicking here");

        Iterator it = data.entrySet().iterator();
        while (it.hasNext()) 
        {
            //Get the key name and value for it
            Map.Entry pair = (Map.Entry)it.next();
            String keyName = (String) pair.getKey();
            String value = pair.getValue().toString();

            if (value != null)
            {
                //Add the parents -- aka main categories
                curGroupMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
                groupData.add(curGroupMap);

                //Push the correct Icon
                if (keyName.equalsIgnoreCase("Phone"))
                    curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.phone_icon);
                else if (keyName.equalsIgnoreCase("Housing"))
                    curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.house_icon);
                else if (keyName.equalsIgnoreCase("Website"))
                    curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.web_icon);
                else if (keyName.equalsIgnoreCase("Area Snapshot"))
                    curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.camera_icon);
                else if (keyName.equalsIgnoreCase("Overview"))
                    curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.overview_icon);  
                else if (keyName.equalsIgnoreCase("Location"))
                    curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.map_icon);
                else
                    curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.icon);

                //Pop on the Name and Value
                curGroupMap.put("NAME", keyName);
                curGroupMap.put("VALUE", value);
            }
        }

        curGroupMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        groupData.add(curGroupMap);
        curGroupMap.put("ICON", R.drawable.back_icon);
        curGroupMap.put("NAME","Go Back");
        curGroupMap.put("VALUE","By clicking here");

        //Set up adapter
        mAdapter = new SimpleAdapter(
                mContext,
                groupData,
                R.layout.exp_list_parent,
                new String[] { "ICON", "NAME", "VALUE" },
                new int[] { R.id.photoAlbumImg, R.id.rowText1, R.id.rowText2  }
        );

        myList.setAdapter(mAdapter); //Bind the adapter to the list 

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Solution

In that case you would add the MapView to the list just like you would any other view. Here's a quick tutorial on how to create a custom list adapter. But I have to caution you, a MapView is a pretty heavy view and if you try to get a bunch of them on the screen you're going to notice the app being sluggish! You may just add a button to the list item that takes the user to another page with more information including a map.
