Android - Supportmapfragment with Googlemaps API 2.0 Giving Illegalargumentexception

Error while running Google maps API V2 example

It might have caused because the library was not imported correctly, follow the steps in this link
If that didn't resolve and you have set up the library correctly, this may be because proguard might have stripped away play services. To avoid it add the following in proguard-project.txt

-keep class * extends java.util.ListResourceBundle {
    protected Object[][] getContents();
}

-keep public class com.google.android.gms.common.internal.safeparcel.SafeParcelable {
    public static final *** NULL;
}

-keepnames @com.google.android.gms.common.annotation.KeepName class *
-keepclassmembernames class * {
    @com.google.android.gms.common.annotation.KeepName *;
}  
-keepnames class * implements android.os.Parcelable {
    public static final ** CREATOR;
}

Your suggested Android manifest fixes

You might not have added the key, I see 'API_KEY' string instead of the key, it should be something like this(obviously the key will be different)

<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="AZzaSyDhkhNotUseFullKey49ylKD2bw1HM" />

You are missing these in the AndroidManifest.xml,

<permission
    android:name="com.juliette.basicgooglemap.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.juliette.basicgooglemap.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

Add this too:

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>

Next setup your layout and code like this post, you are not using the fragment properly.

Saving MapFragment (Maps v2) State in Android

How can I accomplish this?

If you replace() a fragment, the old fragment's views are destroyed, which takes out your MapView and, presumably, the CameraPosition.

onSaveInstanceState() is mostly for configuration changes, such as screen rotations. MapFragment and SupportMapFragment already retain the CameraPosition (which, BTW, is Parcelable, so you can save the whole object in the Bundle rather than piecemeal).

You could consider using show() and hide() instead of replace(), so the fragment and its views sticks around.

MapFragment in Fragment, alternatives?

Use MapView instead of MapFragment in your Fragment's layout. Remember to call MapView's lifecycle methods:

onCreate(Bundle)
onResume()
onPause()
onDestroy()
onSaveInstanceState(Bundle)
onLowMemory()

as described here.

Btw. you shouldn't be using MapFragment, only SupportMapFragment and support library.

Edit:

If you switch to support library, you can use code from comment #1 here:

How to receive GPS Location and inflate Fragment MapView to programmatically add markers with SyncAdapter

After desperate attempts I found the solution given in a similar thread by Mrigank here
I believe after my tweak in the code even though it is being inflated the parent container is somehow null.

So My yelp_google_map.xml goes like this.

<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="mem.edu.joshua.MapsActivity"
                android:background="#009688">

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

</RelativeLayout>

I got rid of the the @Override public void onDestroyView part

onCreateView stays like this

top variables:

private SupportMapFragment sMap;

private FragmentManager fm;

private GoogleMap mMap;

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

        getLoaderManager().initLoader(CURSOR_LOADER_ID, null, this);
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.yelp_google_map, container, false);

        fm=getChildFragmentManager();

        sMap = ((SupportMapFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.map));

        mMap = sMap.getMap();

        initQueryCursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(QuoteProvider.Quotes.CONTENT_URI,
                new String[]{QuoteColumns.LATITUDE, QuoteColumns.LOGITUDE, QuoteColumns.ID_BUSINESS_NAME}, null,
                null, null);

        LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
        if (initQueryCursor != null) {

            DatabaseUtils.dumpCursor(initQueryCursor);
            initQueryCursor.moveToFirst();
            for (int i = 0; i < initQueryCursor.getCount(); i++) {

                home = new LatLng(Double.valueOf(initQueryCursor.getString(initQueryCursor.getColumnIndex("latitude"))),
                        Double.valueOf(initQueryCursor.getString(initQueryCursor.getColumnIndex("longitude"))));
                mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(home).
                        title(initQueryCursor.getString(initQueryCursor.getColumnIndex("id_bussines_name"))));

                initQueryCursor.moveToNext();

                builder.include(home);
            }
            if(home!=null) {
                mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(builder.build(), 91, 91, 42));
            }
        }

        return v;

    }

Added all this in the same Fragment java file

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

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

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

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

Lastly in the mainActivity.java

            getSupportFragmentManager()
                    .beginTransaction()
                    .add(R.id.map, new MapsActivity(), MapsActivity.LOG_TAG)
                    .disallowAddToBackStack()
                    .commitAllowingStateLoss();

Hope this helps somebody. It was a nightmare for me. My application is now working perfectly.

Error inflating Map with fragment

Try deleting all nested fragments in onDestroyView() and inflating them in onCreateView like this answer suggests.

Android app error - Duplicate id 0x7f04000f, tag null, or parent id 0x0 with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment

Fixed it with the following code in my map fragment:

public void onDestroyView() {
    super.onDestroyView();
    FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
    Fragment fragment = (fm.findFragmentById(R.id.map));
    FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction();
    ft.remove(fragment);
    ft.commit();
}
