Add Google Maps API V2 in a fragment

Question

I\'m trying to show the map from the Google Maps API V2 in fragment. I tried with the SupportMapFragment, but I can\'t get the expected output. Also I\'m a beginner on this

Answer 1

Use SupportMapFragment instead of MapFragment and use getActivity()

This is a basic example using SupportMapFragment:

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback{
    
    private SupportMapFragment map;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);        
        map = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        map.getMapAsync(this);//remember getMap() is deprecated!      
    }

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
        map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(
            new LatLng(47.17, 27.5699), 16));
        map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
            .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher))
            .anchor(0.0f, 1.0f) // Anchors the marker on the bottom left
            .position(new LatLng(47.17, 27.5699))); //Iasi, Romania
        map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    }
}

and change the reference in your layout:
