getMapAsync() in Fragment
After a few overheats in my head, thanks to this post and https://stackoverflow.com/a/34732804/3925554, I would say that currently there are two ways of adding a MapFragment to your app:
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
By this way, you have to use a standard fragment and implement this inside. Actually you are inserting a fragment into another:
@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
supportMapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
The other way would be extending the real SupportMapFragment and implement it in this manner without the need of an xml:
@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
getMapAsync(this);
}
And they work without having to set a layout in onCreateView
neither call mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
and mapView.onResume();
manually inside onViewCreated()
, what is not recommended anyway.
Hope it helps!
In your XML layout you should do like this
<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">
<com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</FrameLayout>
inside your fragment implement this
private MapView mapView;
private GoogleMap googleMap;
override onCreateView if there is no onCreateView just like the code below
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout, container, false);
}
override onViewCreated() inside that onViewCreated() put this
mapView = (MapView) view.findViewById(R.id.map);
mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mapView.onResume();
mapView.getMapAsync(this);//when you already implement OnMapReadyCallback in your fragment
when you already implement OnMapReadyCallback in your fragment put this/code like this
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
googleMap = map;
}
hope this helps you.
