In my Android application I have Google map in a fragment but I get null pointer exception at the following line. I have referred many stack over flow links about support fragment null pointer exception but I could not solve my problem.
myMAPF.getMap(); // Null pointer error occurred line.
This the my full code of map inside fragment implementation.
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
public class MapFragment2 extends SupportMapFragment {
private GoogleMap googleMap;
// latitude and longitude
double latitude = 17.385044;
double longitude = 78.486671;
static final LatLng HAMBURG = new LatLng(53.558, 9.927);
static final LatLng KIEL = new LatLng(53.551, 9.993);
private FragmentManager myFM;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.location_fragment, container,
false);
myFM = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
if (googleMap == null) {
final SupportMapFragment myMAPF = (SupportMapFragment) myFM
.findFragmentById(R.id.location_map);
if (myMAPF == null) {
Log.e("myMAPF", "null");
} else {
Log.e("myMAPF", "NOT null");
}
myMAPF.getMap();
if (googleMap == null) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
"Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
.show();
}
}
return view;
}
}
XML layout: (location_fragment.xml)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/location_btn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="map button" />
<fragment
android:id="@+id/location_map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />
</LinearLayout>
My FragmentActivity class defined as shown below:
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTabHost;
.......
public class FragActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
OnTabChangeListener {
private static FragmentTabHost mTabHost;
// This activity has 3 tabs one of the tab has map
// ...............
}
