Set map type for Google Maps Activity using Google Maps Android API v2

Further works on the example "Display "Legal Notices" for Google Maps Android API v2 on Options Menu", to add option for users to select Map Type.



To set map type, call the setMapType() method og GoogleMap object.

Modify from the example "Display "Legal Notices" for Google Maps Android API v2 on Options Menu":

Edit menu/activity_main.xml to add options for map type
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<menu
>
<item
android_id="@+id/menu_about"
android_orderInCategory="100"
app_showAsAction="ifRoom"
android_title="@string/menu_about"/>
<item
android_id="@+id/maptype"
android_orderInCategory="100"
app_showAsAction="never"
android_title="Map Type...">
<menu >
<group android_id="@+id/groupmaptype"
android_checkableBehavior="single">
<item android_id="@+id/maptypeNORMAL"
android_title="NORMAL" />
<item android_id="@+id/maptypeSATELLITE"
android_title="SATELLITE" />
<item android_id="@+id/maptypeTERRAIN"
android_title="TERRAIN" />
<item android_id="@+id/maptypeHYBRID"
android_title="HYBRID" />
<item android_id="@+id/maptypeNONE"
android_title="NONE" />

</group>
</menu>

</item>
<item
android_id="@+id/menu_legalnotices"
android_orderInCategory="100"
app_showAsAction="never"
android_title="@string/menu_legalnotices"/>


</menu>

Edit MapsActivity.java to call mMap.setMapType() once users selected.
