So far we set options of Google Maps Android API v2 using java code, we can also set options in XML.

Set options of Google Maps Android API v2 in XML

Modify layout file, to add options in <fragment> of "com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment", also need to include xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto".

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <fragment
        xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
        map:cameraBearing="45"
        map:cameraTargetLat="51.507222"
        map:cameraTargetLng="-0.1275"
        map:cameraTilt="30"
        map:cameraZoom="12"
        map:mapType="satellite"
        map:uiCompass="true"
        map:uiRotateGestures="true"
        map:uiScrollGestures="true"
        map:uiTiltGestures="true"
        map:uiZoomControls="true"
        map:uiZoomGestures="true"/>

</LinearLayout>
