Using Google Maps inside a Fragment in Android

Question

I am trying to load Google Maps inside fragment ,and I keep getting the same error regardless of what solution I am trying to implement. I have already gone though all of t

Answer 1

line 66 of your MapsFragment, replace:

// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
    .getMap();

by:

// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment)getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
    .getMap();

Because your map fragment is a fragment in a fragment, and not managed by the top level FragmentManager.

Also, I am not sure but you may want to setup your Map asynchronously:

    ((SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMapAsync(
    new OnMapReadyCallback() {
        @Override
        public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
            mMap = googleMap;
            setUpMap();
        }
    });
