How can I add button on MapView android

Issue

As you can see from the question I need to put some button on mapView, where the app will by presing the button by user, refresh the mapView with current location. I know how to put the button above, under, but how to put on map??? If anyone has some sample code, or some guidance help is appreciated...

Solution

You'll want to use a RelativeLayout and lay the button over top of the MapView. Just make sure not to place it over the Google logo. Here's a sample XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/google_maps"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:apiKey="@string/maps_key"/>
    <Button android:id="@+id/googlemaps_select_location"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:text="Select"/>
</RelativeLayout>
