com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment.getMap()' on a null object reference

Question

My question is not a new one. But I still couldn't solve the problem. I imported my project from Eclipse to Android Studio. Originally ,I used google play service 4.3.23 and after the project was imported to Android Studio, it changed to 4+. And MapFragment reply null reference. I tried to follow this and still have the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated .Here is my logcat .

use this line and tell me what do you get ? map = ((SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment)).getMap(); instead of map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment)).getMap(); — penta, Oct 08 '15 at 14:52

This issue :

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment.getMap()' on a null object reference

could be fixed using SupportMapFragment instead of MapFragment

map = ((SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment)).getMap();

You need to use this:

SupportMapFragment fragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.googleMap);
fragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        map = googleMap; // here you set your Google map

        // here you do the rest of your calculations with your map
    }
});

com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment.getMap()' on a null object reference
