Google Maps - Error Inflating SupportMapFragment

Question

As stated above im trying to implement googlemaps into my app and keep getting "Error inflating class fragment" error at the beggining of the map fragment xml. Here's the xml tag in which the fragment is situated:

            <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/activity_main_map_display"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        tools:context=".MainActivity" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/activity_main_text_edit"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@color/colorWhite"
        android:inputType="text"
        android:text="@string/activity_main_search_button"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Here's the error message I've been getting(line 21 is the beginning of the fragment tag):

We also need the rest of the stacktrace, and whatever tag that "relevant piece of code" belongs to. — TheWanderer, Oct 26 '18 at 14:02

Being a fragment, this component can be added to an activity's layout file simply with the XML below documentation:

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

Replace this line:

android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

And make sure you added dependency:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:16.0.0'
