title: How to get Bitmap of MapView from Android Google Maps API V2
body: <p>I'm updating my app to the new Android Maps API V2 and ran into a problem when trying to get a bitmap image of the currently shown map. In API V1 I did this like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Bitmap mBitmap;
  MapViwe mMapView;
  // ...
  mBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(MAP_WIDTH, MAP_HEIGHT, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
  Canvas canvas = new Canvas(mBitmap);
  mMapView.draw(canvas);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whilest in API V1, this got me a bitmap of the map, in API V2, all I get is a black rectangle.</p>
  
  <p>Also with API V2 I'm  using the <code>MapView</code>, not the <code>MapFragment</code> so this isn't the problem.</p>
