Add Google Maps API V2 in a Fragment

Add Google Maps API V2 in a fragment

Here is the code,

public class YourFragment extends Fragment {
    // ...
  static final LatLng HAMBURG = new LatLng(53.558, 9.927);
          static final LatLng KIEL = new LatLng(53.551, 9.993);
          private GoogleMap map;

    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                             Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourlayout, null, false);

        map = ((SupportMapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
            .getMap();

Marker hamburg = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(HAMBURG)
                .title("Hamburg"));
            Marker kiel = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                .position(KIEL)
                .title("Kiel")
                .snippet("Kiel is cool")
                .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
                    .fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher)));

            // Move the camera instantly to hamburg with a zoom of 15.
            map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(HAMBURG, 15));

            // Zoom in, animating the camera.
            map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null);

        //...

        return v;
    }

Your layout,

 <RelativeLayout 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"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

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

</RelativeLayout>

Make some changes in your manifest file also.Like,

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.myapp.android.locationapi.maps"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="17"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

    <permission
        android:name="com.myapp.android.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />

    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true" />

    <uses-permission android:name="com.myapp.android.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.myapp.android.locationapi.maps.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="your_apikey" />
    </application>

</manifest> 

Add google maps api v2 in a drawerlayout fragment

I found a solution!! I've followed the answer given by Boss here: Trying to put a map in a fragment activity

I've only changed a little thing. Instead of adding the fragment in the transaction, I have replaced it (in the MapFragment.java), and then in the onCreate in the MainActivity I've added the fragment instead of replacing it.

In the MainActivity (inside the onCreate):

    Fragment fragment = new MapFragment();
    FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    ft.add(R.id.frame_content, fragment);
    ft.commit();

How to put Google Maps V2 on a Fragment using ViewPager

By using this code we can setup MapView anywhere, inside any ViewPager or Fragment or Activity.

In the latest update of Google for Maps, only MapView is supported for fragments. MapFragment & SupportMapFragment didn't work for me.

Setting up the layout for showing the map in the file location_fragment.xml:

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

    <com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
        android:id="@+id/mapView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

Now, we setup the Java class for showing the map in the file MapViewFragment.java:

public class MapViewFragment extends Fragment {

    MapView mMapView;
    private GoogleMap googleMap;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.location_fragment, container, false);

        mMapView = (MapView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.mapView);
        mMapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        mMapView.onResume(); // needed to get the map to display immediately

        try {
            MapsInitializer.initialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        mMapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onMapReady(GoogleMap mMap) {
                googleMap = mMap;

                // For showing a move to my location button
                googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

                // For dropping a marker at a point on the Map
                LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
                googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker Title").snippet("Marker Description"));
            
                // For zooming automatically to the location of the marker
                CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder().target(sydney).zoom(12).build();
                googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
            }
        });

        return rootView;
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mMapView.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mMapView.onPause();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        mMapView.onDestroy();
    }

    @Override
    public void onLowMemory() {
        super.onLowMemory();
        mMapView.onLowMemory();
    }
}

Finally you need to get the API Key for your app by registering your app at Google Cloud Console. Register your app as Native Android App.

Google Maps API v2 multiple map fragment problems

Nobody answer so I finally succed on my own.

So I will share for the others with the same problem.
It seams that there is a bug, that if you have several fragments and you try to instanciate two or more maps (Google Maps) seams to take the same instance previously saved, even that you use SupportMapFragment.newInstance()

Anyway, what you should do is always close the map before open a new one, so if you want to show the second map, first of all remove the fragment with the previous map. And then instantiate a new on and add to the correspondent layout.

It's not a really good solution because it means to open and close the maps everytime, but is the best I could find.

Google maps api v2, on marker click to open a fragment on the map

implement OnMarkerClickListener

and use this method: (it will be called when u click on a marker)

@Override
    public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
        return false;
    }

inside this function open your fragment.
