Is it possible to use a MapView without having to extend MapActivity?

Question

Currently in my design I've got a base abstract class that all of my activities extend from, however I discovered recently that in order to use a MapView you need to make your activity extend MapActivity. Since Java does not have multiple inheritance I was wondering if there is any way I can use a MapView without having to recreate my design for my application.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Good question. I'm interested in what the others have to say. If the answer is no, you should check out the OSMDroid project; that's the map I'm using for my application. It's nice to have the source code to work with...
