getMapAsync() in Fragment

Question

I having trouble implementing Google Map in Fragment.

This is my the part of my fragment class:

public class FragmentStoreFinderMap extends Fragment

After a few overheats in my head, thanks to this post and https://stackoverflow.com/a/34732804/3925554, I would say that currently there are two ways of adding a MapFragment to your app:

By this way, you have to use a standard fragment and implement this inside. Actually you are inserting a fragment into another:

    @Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

    SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    supportMapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}

The other way would be using the real SupportMapFragment and implement it in this manner:

    @Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);

    getMapAsync(this);
}

And they work without having to set a layout in onCreateView neither call mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState); and mapView.onResume(); manually inside onViewCreated(), what is not recommended anyway.

Hope it helps!
