embedding android mapview into HTML

i am wondering if it is possible to embed an android view as part of html? Or to create a placeholder in the html code (like <div>) into which an android view can be loaded. For example, my app's gui is made entirely using html and then loaded in a webview in the main android activity. What i'd like to do is to show a map inside the gui. I know i could just use the google maps javascript api, but since i already have the code written for dealing with the map using java, i am wondering if there's a simple way to just embed the native android google map view (the xml layout) into the html.

thanks,

Jaka

No, it's not possible.

However, if your WebView doesn't scroll, you can add your MapView on top of it, placing it right with the margin. And if it does scroll, you can move your MapView in its parent, according to the WebView current scroll (try subclassing WebView's onScrollChanged method).
