MapFragment in a fragment Vs MapView in a fragment with Google Maps api v2

I have an app having actionbar where one of the fragments contain a mapFragment. Also, i've to make an overlay of list on top of the map. MapFragment as of now as lesser functionality(i cant make setInfoWindowAdapter to work in it).So my question is should I be using Mapview within a fragment or MapFragment within in a fragment? which is the best practice? I've read through many articles but none them exactly mention which is the best option and why.

Both are correct if done correct.

Fragments inside fragments are supported as of support library v11.

Two things to remember:

  1. you cannot put MapFragment to xml
  2. you have to use getChildFragmentManager

Check this link for how to correctly add MapFragment inside your fragment: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=5064#c1
