I have a SherlockFragmentActivity which has a TabHost which has two Fragments attached to it. I am trying to render the map inside one of those Tab Fragments
Edit
I have got the Map to be Displayed but now i am not able to Reference the Map and Change the Map to Hybrid. Basically i need to Reference the Map with out getting the Null error.
Answer
In onCreateView() you must call its parent. Check my solution in https://stackoverflow.com/a/13734470/835787 closer. The map is initialized in the onCreateView() method of MapFragment, if you don't call it the map will be null.
