Unable to instantiate fragment com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment in Activity

Question

(Edit)

TabClubActivity.java:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Log.e("First", "First");

    setContentView(R.layout.tab_club_layout);  ---> 140th error line in logcat

    Log.e("Second", "Second");

    MapFragment fragment = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
    map = fragment.getMap();
    fragment.onResume();

    ................

  }

As you see in the below log it is printing "First" log statement and not printing the "Second" log statement.

So I am sure the problem with the layout.

I am using google map library revision 29.

I am using adapter class inside TabClubActivity.That means I am using adapter class as a inner class.

I am using Eclipse version 21.I tried many SO post.But couldn't solve the issue.

Does your activity imports android.app.fragment ?

If so, try with android.v4.app.fragment instead.

Later on, you'll need to use getSupportFragmentManager and not getFragment.

change getFragmentManager() to getSupportFragmentManager().This Exception because you are using imports android.app.Fragment.Replace with imports android.v4.app.Fragment

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Log.e("First", "First");

    setContentView(R.layout.tab_club_layout);  ---> 140th error line in logcat

    Log.e("Second", "Second"); 

    MapFragment fragment = ((MapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
    map = fragment.getMap();
    fragment.onResume();

    ................ 

  }

I spend few days.but can't resolve this issue in Eclipse tool.Then I tried with Android studio.

Map is working fine.Issue has been resolved only in studio.In eclipse many times google map library issue happened to me.But when I moved to studio, my code is working fine.

Error occurred due to changes in new OS changed with eclipse tool and sdk.It might be google map library issue.
