Question

I am trying to add google map in fragment activity but it is creating an error at getMap();method in AddMasjid.java

AddMasjid.java

package com.example.saroosh.masjidnow.Tabs;

import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

import com.example.saroosh.masjidnow.R;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapsInitializer;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.CameraPosition;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

public class AddMasjid extends Fragment {

    MapView mMapView;
    private GoogleMap googleMap;


    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v =inflater.inflate(R.layout.add_masjid,container,false);

        mMapView = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.map);
        mMapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        mMapView.onResume();// needed to get the map to display immediately

        try {
            MapsInitializer.initialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        googleMap = mMapView.getMap();
        // latitude and longitude
        double latitude = 17.385044;
        double longitude = 78.486671;

        // create marker
        MarkerOptions marker;
        marker = new MarkerOptions().position(
                new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("Hello Maps");

        // Changing marker icon
        marker.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
                .defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ROSE));

        // adding marker
        googleMap.addMarker(marker);
        CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
                .target(new LatLng(17.385044, 78.486671)).zoom(12).build();
        googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
                .newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));



        return v;
    }

}

You need to do using *support map fragment* as you have taken in *xml* not *map view*. — Jay Rathod, Sep 05 '16 at 12:13
@W4R10CK I can't get logcat error because i am getting error in writing. Could you tell me? How I can get google map in tab or viewPager? — nabia saroosh, Sep 05 '16 at 14:10
You might want to check on how to add [*MapFragment*](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/map#add_a_fragment). You might have miss a step or codes. This tutorial about [Android - Google Maps Tutorial](http://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_google_maps.htm) might help as it also discuss how to properly add `GoogleMap` and `MapFragment` api to integrate map in your android application. — Mr.Rebot, Sep 08 '16 at 15:30
