Answer 1

if you developed your code with Kotlin, and want to add MapFragment to another Fragment you need to use SupportMapFragment but if you do it, you will get null exception so you should use childFragmentManager rather than supportFragmentManager and the code should be in onCreateView not in onCreate just add below code:

private lateinit var mapFragment : SupportMapFragment

 mapFragment = childFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.mapview) as SupportMapFragment
    mapFragment.getMapAsync { googleMap ->
        this.googleMap = googleMap
        setGoogleMapSettings()
    }
