Q:

Android: Google Maps V2 only as a fragment?

I would like to show a Google Maps as one of my 3 pages in a ViewPager.
I was thinking to use Views instead of Fragments inside my ViewPager, but I have only found examples with Google Maps V2 being a fragment. So, I guess I will have to make each ViewPager page a fragment.
Can you confirm that Google Maps V2 can only be a fragment?

ViewPager most commonly uses Fragments via FragmentStatePagerAdapter or FragmentPagerAdapter. By using Fragments you can supply and manage the lifecycle of each page.

This is not necessarily the case. You can use a MapView.
