I have a google map in a fragment in my application. Funny thing is that the map loads, but the logcat displays a NullPointerException, and I only noticed it when tried to update the camera on the map so that it could automatically zoom in on the marker. Only then the map will crash. Otherwise, the map loads fine in the fragment but with no marker (even though I am adding one using my current gps location).
EDITED*
I understand that its crashing because the googleMap is null, but I don't understand why it's returning null. The map renders and well I've done this before and it usually crashes at that point. Doesn't render.
Here is the logcat error

Here is my code snippet from the Map Fragment
private void createMapView(){

SupportMapFragment smf = (SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapView);
googleMap = smf.getMap();
if(googleMap == null) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity().getBaseContext(),

}
}
} catch (NullPointerException exception){
Log.e("mapApp", exception.toString());
}
}
private void getLocation(){
gps = new GPSTracker(this.getActivity());
if(gps.CanGetLocation()){
latitude = gps.getLatitude();
longitude = gps.getLongitude();
Log.e("MapFragment","lat = " + latitude + " and Long = " + longitude);
addMarker(latitude,longitude);
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(latitude,longitude), 12));
} else {
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
}
private void addMarker(double lat, double lng){
if(googleMap != null){
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(lat, lng))
.title("Marker")
.draggable(true)
);
}
}

googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
This worked for me. getSupportFragmentManager() seemed to be causing all the crashes.
MainActivity.xml :
<fragment
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>
MainActivity.java :
Private GoogleMap GoogleMap;
googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
Here's the permission:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
And here's the metadata section:
...
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="HERE GOES YOUR API KEY" />
