Fields

protected final Handler mHandler A Handler to receive events that alter the view tree.

Public Constructors

MapActivity()

Protected Methods

				void	doHandleMessage(Message message)
					Subclasses which wish to post messages to mHandler should override this method to provide handling for those messages.
				DataRequestDispatcher	getDispatcher()
					WARNING: This method will be restricted to the Maps Application in the future.
				boolean	isLocationAvailable()
				void	onCreate(Bundle icicle)
					Here we initialize static factories, create the map object and the traffic service, and begin our threads.
				void	onDestroy()
					Stops all our threads.
				void	onPause()
					Pauses the traffic service, because we don't want it running forever in the background.
				void	onResume()
					Here we also tell the map to "predraw", which front-loads fetching and decoding, so that the first draw will appear more "atomic".
				void	onStop()
					"Closes" the map, committing tile cache to the filesystem.
