Programmatically set google map fragment visibility (API2)

Question

xml:

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/mapFragment"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

In regular fragment it goes like this:

  mFragment = (mFragment) (getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mFragment));
  mFragment.getView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

In Google map fragment:

  mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment)).getMap();

But how can I set map fragment visibility progrematically?

Can't do it like others fragment.

Simple as this:

private GoogleMap mMap;
private SupportMapFragment mMapFragment;

mMapFragment = ((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment));
mMap = mMapFragment.getMap();

mMapFragment.getView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
