android - Inflating a View inside a Layout after adding a MapFragment to the same layout weird behavior -

i have following parent layout activity:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <viewpager         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:id="@+id/viewpager"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent" /> 

i have following layout fragment goes viewpager:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <linearlayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"               android:layout_width="fill_parent"               android:layout_height="fill_parent"               android:orientation="vertical">      <framelayout             android:id="@+id/maplayout"             android:layout_width="match_parent"             android:layout_height="0dp"             android:layout_weight="1">     </relativelayout> </linearlayout> 

at runtime framelayout gets populated on oncreateview() method of fragment this:

    @override     public view oncreateview(layoutinflater inflater, viewgroup container, bundle savedinstancestate) {         super.oncreate(savedinstancestate);          ...          viewgroup mapview = (viewgroup) inflater.inflate(r.layout.frament_mood_map, container, false);          if(savedinstancestate == null) {             fragment mapfragment = new supportmapfragment();             fragmenttransaction transaction = getchildfragmentmanager().begintransaction();             //adding map fragment framelayout.             transaction.add(r.id.maplayout, mapfragment, "map").commit();          }          //adding mood panel.         viewgroup maplayout = (viewgroup) mapview.findviewbyid(r.id.maplayout);         maplayout.addview(inflater.inflate(r.layout.mood_panel_layout, null));          ...          return mapview;     } 

the expected behavior since container gets populated fragment , view framelayout, former gets added first container, , later on top of map, want show map little panel on top has buttons, cannot define fragment inside xml because (citing docs, , yes i've tried it):

note: cannot inflate layout fragment when layout includes . nested fragments supported when added fragment dynamically

what doing wrong? how can workaround this?

after hours of fiddling , trying find workaround found out there's updated mapview on google maps android api v2, having same issue need nest within viewpager page fragment mapfragment use mapview.

i found mapview in following question: should use mapview or mapfragment
