Map fragment activity crash, android?

Question

I have map fragment activity

This is the layout file

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

The activity code

public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

private GoogleMap mMap;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
    // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
    SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}



@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mMap = googleMap;

    // Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
    LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}

}

Exception is

How can it be solved?

Please add your AndroidManifest.xml and entire layout file, not just the fragment. — Narayan Acharya, Sep 29 '16 at 07:37

Change this lines:

 SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
        .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);

for this lines of code:

MapFragment map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
    map.getMapAsync(this);

I guess along with W.Kurek's answer, this might be needed :

You can either change your SupportMapFragment to MapFragment as suggested by W.Kurek OR make changes to your XML layout like shown below and continue to use the same Java code in your activity.

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

Notice that I have used class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" instead of the android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

The difference between the two can be found here
