Google maps in a fragment

Question

I'm trying to implement Google Map in a fragment but I couln't make it work. Here's what I got so far:

MainActivity.java:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            Fragment fragment_map = new MyMapFragment();
            FragmentManager fragmentManager =getSupportFragmentManager();
            FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
            fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.container_body, fragment_map);
            fragmentTransaction.commit();
    }
}

MyMapFragment.java:

public class MyMapFragment extends Fragment {

        private GoogleMap mMap;

        public MyMapFragment() {
        }

        public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) {

            View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map, container, false);
            mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
            return rootView;
        }
}

fragment_map.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />

</RelativeLayout>

However, when I launch this, I get the following error:

In your MyAppFragment I think you need to call getSupportFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager() because you are using Google's support package. see the Fragment documentation:

The main differences when using this support version instead of the framework version are:

[...]

You must call getSupportFragmentManager() to get the FragmentManager

Tried using: mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap(); Got same error. – Wiillyx3 Aug 15 '15 at 10:55

You should obtain map asynchronously:

public class MyMapFragment extends Fragment {

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map, container, false);
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
               // do want you want with map
            }
        return rootView;
    }

}
