Error Inflating Class Fragment Google Maps V2

I've spent 24 hours trying to deploy a simple google maps v2 android apps. I've searched in a lot of forums (included stackoverflow)... but I'm desperated. The error is: android.vi

Solution 1:

Assuming you have got the correct jars..etc. Your xml seems fine. here is what you can try doing.

publicclassMainActivityextendsandroid.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity  {

    private GoogleMap mMap;

    @OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

     // Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
        mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
                .getMap();
        if (mMap== null)
        {
            Toast.makeText(this,"Google Maps not Available",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }


    }

Now, why this.. You have chosen min sdk as 8. FragmentActivity works only for API 11+, to make it compatible for below versions also, you need to extend it the way I have done.

Also, in your OnCreate I see absolutely nothing, there is no map instance created by you. What are you expecting to show on the screen?

Solution 2:

try to add <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> into AndroidManifest.xml It works for me!
