Hi Forum! =)
I'm quite new to android development.. I want to integrate a mapview in a ui, but I only want it to fill about half the screen's height.. is there any way to do this?

I've been wondering about this one too and I've found a way to set the height of a mapview, i haven't got it to play ball fully, but at least it won't try to be the size of the screen.

The way I've done it is placed it inside a linear layout. The height of the map depends on a mixture of how the android:layout_height="fill_parent" is set on both the mapview and the linear layout, for instance to set an absolute height I set the map to be android:layout_height="200px" and left the linear layout as android:layout_height="wrap_content".

This here seems to be keeping my mapview a decent size:



Anyway, I hope i've helped.
