MapFragment return null

Question

mMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentByTag(MAP_FRAGMENT_TAG);

        // We only create a fragment if it doe         


        

Answer 1

Really hackish solution but, because given the poor fragment API...

Note that I'm doing this from a custom View and accessing the Activity using (Activity)getContext()

            addOnLayoutChangeListener(new OnLayoutChangeListener(){
                @Override
                public void onLayoutChange(View v, int left, int top,
                        int right, int bottom, int oldLeft, int oldTop,
                        int oldRight, int oldBottom) {

                    GoogleMap map = mapFragment.getMap();

                    if (map != null) {
                         //Do stuff
                    }else{
                         removeOnLayoutChangeListener(this);
                    }
                }
            });
