I want to use MapView control in satellite view mode but i don't want to show location labels on it i.e, I want blank satellite view of map in which name of places are not shown.I have searched web a lot but couldn't find a way out.How can I achieve this.Thanks in advance...
The images provided to the MapView from Google have that data built into it, it#s not an overlay and there is no option to get it without. So you can't.

I'm wondering how to get the map to appear inside the CardView, like in the images below, highlighted in pink.
On the left is Strava, it shows the map with the route highilghted. On the right is Google Calendar, it has a map of the location of the calender event.
I would really appriciate some pointer on where to look in the apis to achieve this.

You need to use a MapView to achieve this.
This is part of Androids Lite Mode.
Create your card, and add the MapView inside the CardView.
Then in your onCreate(), you create the actual map and set the MapView to display that map.
I hope to show a list of items on map for a small area, like in a room, so I can't use google map for this. But I still need some basic functions, showing current position, target positions, and the directions. Any help will be appreciated!
forgot to make a closure on this-- later I use some indoor positioning systems to solve this problem.
Recently I show the ubicabs taxi booking app. I found very nice functionality inside it. In this app they have google maps for showing markers, but they have used very good UI component for that. Also I found one more uniqueness is that whenever user moves or change the position of marker through touch it will fetch the current location. One thing that I know is that it is using the onTouchEvent of Overlay but how to create that marker balloon and how to get updated location on the basis of that marker.
I am attaching a preview of that marker here. Also would like to know that how can we scroll the text inside that balloon?
The best overlay open project I have found so far is this one, link. But it is nothing compared to the picture above. Would also like to know how they created this! Great Question and picture ;)
I am creating an Android application which uses GPS to show an user their current location.
I have this part of the application working and the location shows up on map view but I was wondering how do I go about adding a marker on the location? I understand it has something to do with creating an Overlay but am unsure how to go about doing this.
Also I wish for assistance in adding a zoom in/out control button.
Many thanks.

not only you can draw anything on the map you can animate the view as well. using this i implmented drop pin effect as that of IPhone in Android
Using Canvas and onDraw Method is tough but the best and core way to handle things.
Hope it helps :)
You can use this project to achieve that you want:

I want to display terrain View in MapView
There are mapView.setSatellite(true|false) mapView.setTraffic(true|false) mapView.setStreetView(true|false) in MapView class as I found.
There is no method to set terrain view.

How can I achieve it.
Please suggest.

Thats cannot be done with Google Maps SDK provided to android for now.
