There's a bunch of duplicate questions that go around the same topic... I can't seem to figure out how to flag it as a duplicate and then put one answer on it...

Here's the link to the other one: Android SupportMapFragment.getMap() returns null

And the potential answer posted there as well:

Check your layout xml file. I noticed that I wasn't referencing: android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" but rather: android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"

The name should be: android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
