Try this 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/MyTextView"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@string/hello"
            android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />


        <com.google.android.maps.MapView
            android:id="@+id/map"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:apiKey="Your api key"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:layout_above="@+id/MyTextView"" />
 </RelativeLayout>
