I am using com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.5.0
version of Google Maps services. When trying to call the below I get java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment.getMapAsync(com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback)' on a null object reference
.
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this); //error
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_example_map, container, false);
}
fragment_example_map.xml file:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</FrameLayout>
My comment in maps with fragment , first you should refrenece your view as you will call something from it , this is why I inflate my view first
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_maps, null, false);
Second call child fragment manager this.getChildFragmentManager()
instead of getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager()
Here is the full example to view map
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.Nullable;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;
public class ClinicFragment extends Fragment implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
public static ClinicFragment newInstance() {
ClinicFragment fragment = new ClinicFragment();
return fragment;
}
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_maps, null, false);
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) this.getChildFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
return view;
}
/**
* Manipulates the map once available.
* This callback is triggered when the map is ready to be used.
* This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case,
* we just add a marker near Sydney, Australia.
* If Google Play services is not installed on the device, the user will be prompted to install
* it inside the SupportMapFragment. This method will only be triggered once the user has
* installed Google Play services and returned to the app.
*/
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
// Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}
