Google maps v2 not initializing in fragment

Question

I want to show my current location using Google maps v2 from a fragment however the Google maps is not initializing on start up. When i run the application, it is nor crashing but the map is not showing my current location neither is it displaying anything. I have used this code on my activity and it is fully functional.

Below is my java code:

public class MapFragment extends Fragment implements LocationListener,GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
        GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,OnMapReadyCallback {
    SupportMapFragment mSupportMapFragment;
    MapView mMapView;
    Location mLastLocation;
    Marker mCurrLocationMarker;
    private MarkerOptions markerOptions;
    protected GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
    private LatLng latLng;
    public GoogleMap mMap;
    private Marker marker;
    LocationRequest mLocationRequest;
    private GoogleMap googleMap;
    private TextView lastTrip, lastDeliveryText, lastDelivery, lastAmountText, lastAmount, kes,
            todayTotal, totalDeliveryText, totalDelivery, totalAmount, totalAmountText;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        buildGoogleApiClient();
        // inflat and return the layout
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_fragment, container,
                false);

        mSupportMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapwhere);
        if (mSupportMapFragment == null) {
            FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
            FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
            mSupportMapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
            fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.mapwhere, mSupportMapFragment).commit();
        }

        if (mSupportMapFragment != null) {
            mSupportMapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
        }


        return v;
    }
    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap;
        Log.d("one","one");

        mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
        //mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {

                Log.d("two","two");
                buildGoogleApiClient();
                mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

            }
        } else {
            Log.d("three","three");
            buildGoogleApiClient();
            mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

        }
    }
    protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {

        final Double lat = location.getLatitude();
        final Double lng = location.getLongitude();
        Log.d("LATLANGz", lat + "|" + lng);
        latLng = new LatLng(lat, lng);
        markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();

    }

yes, when i put static LatLng onMapReady inner function in onCreate it work fine — G. Joe, Oct 07 '17 at 04:36

First check your permissions and your google api key in your manifest

Your xml layout must be something like this without any thing else:

.   <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.isg_biz.isg_tracking.MainActivity" />

You have to implement OnMapReadyCallback, then your code should be something like this in onCreate() :

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

Do not to copy and past the same xml code literally you have to change (tools : .....) to same that exist in your xml

for documentation, java code & more Please read :

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/map-with-marker

first of all Chaeck permission in manifest

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

then check method for current location

private GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener myLocationChangeListener = new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
        LatLng loc = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
        marker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(loc));
        if(map != null){
            map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(loc, 16.0f));
        }
    }
};

then use

mMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(myLocationChangeListener);

and be patience map take laoding time depend on you network speed
