Use this class to initialize the Google Maps SDK for Android if features need to be used before obtaining a map. It must be called because some classes such as BitmapDescriptorFactory and CameraUpdateFactory need to be initialized.
This class does not apply to the Navigation SDK. It exists for compile time compatibility with com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps only.
Do not use this class if you obtain a valid GoogleMap reference using the onMapReady(GoogleMap map) callback. Instead provide
the callback to either MapFragment#getMapAsync() or MapView#getMapAsync(). See the sample application for some examples.
