How can i render Google Maps Android API v2 on a TextureView?

According to this comment, Google Maps Android API v2 relies on SurfaceView to display the map. And view animations doesn't work with SurfaceView. This is the problem that i'm facing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBWvRxV64WU (the MapView is flickering when the slide animation starts). I think that using TextureView this problem may not occur. So, how can i render Google Maps on a TextureView?

--- UPDATE ---
Google Maps Team fixed this issue on API 16: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=4839

Get a job at Google, join the Maps team, and implement a modification to the closed-source Maps V2 library to use TextureView on supported devices.

Otherwise, you cannot change this, as it is not open source, and therefore you cannot modify it.

Sorry!
