I would like to make the google maps viewable in another activity, that is, it does not take the entire screen. Is it possible to embed a google map map activty in another activity, so that, let's say, it takes half or 3/4 of the screen please?
Thanks in advance!

You can use MapView as any other view - position and size as you like.
If you want to place MapView into ScrollView here is good solution to make sure it works correctly: MapView inside a ScrollView?
