Google Maps v2 not loading. Error android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line.. Error inflating class fragment

Question

This is my MainActivity. minimum sdk version is 11 in my app. I used the API key in the android manifest file. When I did some minor modifications, it is showing me blank white space instead of map.

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

// Google Map
private GoogleMap googleMap;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    try {
        // Loading map
        initilizeMap();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

/**
 * function to load map. If map is not created it will create it for you
 * */
private void initilizeMap() {
    if (googleMap == null) {
        googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
                R.id.map)).getMap();

        // check if map is created successfully or not
        if (googleMap == null) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
        }
    }
}


}

This is my layout activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:name="com.prasad.maptrial.MainActivity"/>

</RelativeLayout>

This is my Manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    </activity>
    <meta-data

Answer 2

try this one

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Answer 3

You can use

mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.your_id))
            .getMap();

From xml

<fragment
android:id="@+id/your_id"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Add your key here

 android:value="(MY API KEY)"
