Full error

Rendering Problems

The following classes could not be instantiated:

- com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment (Open Class, Show Exception, Clear Cache)

Tip: Use View.isInEditMode() in your custom views to skip code or show sample data when shown in the IDE.

If this is an unexpected error you can also try to build the project, then manually refresh the layout.

You should be using support map fragment, by the way – OneCricketeer Mar 02 '17 at 03:30 — OneCricketeer, Mar 02 '17 at 03:30

tools:context="layout.ContactFragment">

    <com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment

You have a Fragment in a Fragment.

Android doesn't really like that, so wherever you put <fragment class="layout.ContactFragment"> (assuming you did), you can replace that with a Google Map Fragment since the only view you have in this ContactFragment is a Map Fragment anyway.

Otherwise, you can use a FrameLayout and dynamically load a new SupportMapFragment just like any other Fragment.
