Using MapFragment with min sdk-8

Issue

I wish to use google maps in my app. For that, I am using MapFragment. MapFragment requires minimum sdk version 11. But I wish to have minimum sdk version as 8 so that my app works for Android 2.2 and above. When I use MapView I do not get the map. I just get the grids in the map. How do I resolve this? Need Help.

Solution

Instead of Map Fragment use SupportMapFragment
