Multiple Maps with ViewPager

This example demonstrates the usage of the Android ViewPager widget to display multiple maps with different styles using a tabs interface.

When the activity is created, the ViewPager is initialized with the MapFragmentAdapter. The onRestoreInstanceState method ensures that map fragments are loaded asynchronously based on the ViewPager's current and off-screen positions. The MapFragment class handles loading map styles based on the index provided.

Each map fragment loads a specific style based on the index value passed using getStyleFromIndex. The getStyleFromIndex function returns a map style string based on the provided index, which corresponds to different styles available in the Style class such as Style.STANDARD, Style.DARK, Style.SATELLITE, and others.
