Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

You can set the following options to your MapView to define which mode to display.

mapView.setSatellite(true);
mapView.setStreetView(true);

But there are no buttons by default as part of the MapView that you can display to the user. This you could implement with embedding the MapView and the buttons into a FrameLayout, so that the buttons are floating on top of the map.

with 'view controller' you mean the buttons, as in the Google Maps WEB version, right? cause a MapView also has a MapController, but it has a different meaning.If you look at the Google Maps App on Android (not the Google Maps on the Web), you also won't see any buttons there for satellite, street view, etc. - these options are also only available there via the context menu.There are no buttons by default as part of the MapView that you can display.

@Mathis Lin Have you marked that "Satellite view in Android" is the "Hybrid view in I-phone", i mean to say "Satellite view in I-phone" showing only satellite view without city name or other name..

I'm not familiar with the iPhone Maps, don't have/use iPhone. Not sure if/how to remove city names, in fact I havent' used satellite mode much.
