When opening my SupportMapFragment (Android maps v2) for a second time (calling setContentView) I get the following error:

The XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >
    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/hits_map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        map:mapType="normal"
        map:uiZoomControls="false"
        map:uiZoomGestures="true"
        map:cameraZoom="13"
        map:uiRotateGestures="true"
        map:uiTiltGestures="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>

MyView.class:

public class MyView extends RelativeLayout {
    private GoogleMap map;

    public MyView(Context context, FragmentActivity activity) {
        super(context);
        inflate(activity, R.layout.activity_hits, this);
        this.map = ((SupportMapFragment) activity.getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.hits_map)).getMap();
    }
}

I have no idea what this error means. Can someone explain this?

Update: As an alternative solution (which I think is much better) you can use a MapView which is described: here

I ran across a similar problem while working with a tabs implementation. With Google Maps V2, you are stuck with the SupportMapFragment, so using the MapView isn't an option. Between juanmeanwhile's post and comment #1 found here (https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=5064#c1), I managed to figure out what I was doing wrong.

So, for anyone else getting the Duplicate id error, make sure you declare the fragment programatically, not in XML. This probably means nesting layouts.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<!-- Lots of fancy layout -->   

<RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Then you need to create your fragment programatically, but it needs to be done carefully with consideration for the Fragments lifecycle (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Fragment.html#getChildFragmentManager()). To ensure everything is created at the right time, your code should look like this (taken from comment #1).

public class MyFragment extends Fragment {

private SupportMapFragment fragment;
private GoogleMap map;

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    return inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_with_map, container, false);
}

@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    FragmentManager fm = getChildFragmentManager();
    fragment = (SupportMapFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    if (fragment == null) {
        fragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
        fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.map, fragment).commit();
    }
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (map == null) {
        map = fragment.getMap();
        map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(0, 0)));
    }
}
}

Hopefully this saves some time.
