Google Maps looks like an image

I have two Google Maps in my application, which I have implemented in the same way. One is working and one is not. The latter looks like an image and I can't interact with it. I can add markers and move the camera, but the info window doesn't show when I click the marker I can't move it, zoom in and zoom out. It looks like an image, a preview.
Here is the code:
public class MapFragment extends Fragment implements OnMapReadyCallback{
private GoogleMap mMap;
private static Double latitude;
private static Double longitude;
private static String title;
public static MapFragment newInstance(Double mLatitude, Double mLongitude, String mTitle) {
latitude=mLatitude;
longitude=mLongitude;
title=mTitle;
MapFragment fragment = new MapFragment();
return fragment;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map, container, false);
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map_details);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
return view;
}
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
mMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(true);
mMap.getUiSettings().setMapToolbarEnabled(false);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.location_icon))
.position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude))
.title(title));
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder().target(new LatLng(latitude,longitude)).zoom(12f).build();
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition);
mMap.moveCamera(cameraUpdate);
}
public interface OnMapFragmentInteractionListener {
void onMapFragmentInteraction(Uri uri);
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
}
#Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
}
#Override
public void onLowMemory() {
super.onLowMemory();
}
}

You should take a look at XML. There is liteMode and when it's set to true it does exactly what you are describing.
<com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
android:id="#+id/row_map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
map:liteMode="true"
map:mapType="none" />
Here look at documentation

I'm just guessing but in code that you posted i see one mistake. To be sure you have to check your imports in the place when you try to use your MapFragment. As I said I guess that in one place it's imported from google pacage and another one from your class. The problem is that the MapFragment that you post here isn't a google MapFragment because you extants it from simple Fragment. To be sure rename your own MapFragment to CustomMapFragment and try to extands from MapFragment or just use it without customize.

google map is not showing marker on it

this is my activity
public class FindPeopleFragment extends Fragment implements OnMapReadyCallback {

I am using navigation drawer to show the map. my map is working but the marker on it does not show. I have used all permission and created the xml file well. I don't know what is the problem, I can't find a solution for this anywhere. I think I am having problem as I am using fragment, but I need it as I am using navigation drawer. please anybody? give me a solution, I'm stuck at this

You should implement onMapReadyCallback, you should set marker when map is ready. Once an instance of this interface is set on a MapFragment or MapView object, the onMapReady(GoogleMap) method is triggered when the map is ready to be used and provides a non null instance of GoogleMap.
The onMapReady() and method might not being called. Try to implement SupportMapFragment object that you retrieved from the XML layout. Then, call getMapAsync().
supportMapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
#Override
public void onMapReady(final GoogleMap googleMap) {
// ...
}
});

What is not being deallocated in this Google maps fragment?

I've got an app which is quite intensive in terms of memory and i'm trying to get all I can. I've noticed something which I can't work out, Google maps is keeping its allocation of memory even after (I think) i'm getting rid of it.
Before Google Maps is called:
After Google Maps is called:
Returned from Google Maps with back button:
Returned from Google Maps with on info window press button:
(the slightly higher number is just due to the fact I included a couple of methods more to include a marker to return)
As you can see, it's retaining a lot of the memory. So i'll show you how this is working:
Google Maps is not actually called, but a container for Google Maps is, and it's below:
public class GoogleMapsAndBookmarksContainer extends ActionBarActivity {
private FragmentTabHost mTabHost;
public ArrayList frameListContainer;
public HashMap<String, HashMap> bookmarkInfo;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_google_maps_and_bookmarks_container);
frameListContainer = (ArrayList) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("arrayListWithFrameAttributes");
bookmarkInfo = (HashMap) getIntent().getSerializableExtra("hashmapWithBookmarks");
mTabHost = (FragmentTabHost) findViewById(android.R.id.tabhost);
mTabHost.setup(this, getSupportFragmentManager(), android.R.id.tabcontent);
// The first tab is the google maps fragment which i'll include below
mTabHost.addTab(
mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab1").setIndicator("Google Maps", null),
GoogleMapsFragment.class, null);
mTabHost.addTab(
mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab2").setIndicator("Bookmarks", null),
BookmarksFragment.class, null);
}
#Override
protected void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
/// **** THIS WAS JUST ADDED A LOSS FOR WHAT IT COULD BE RETAINING ****
mTabHost = null;
frameListContainer = null;
bookmarkInfo = null;
}
// access for fragments
public HashMap getBookmarkInfo(){
return bookmarkInfo;
}
public ArrayList getFrameAttributesArrayList(){
return frameListContainer;
}
}
I managed to remove everything from my class but this and still the problem remain:
public class GoogleMapsFragment extends Fragment {
private GoogleMap map;
private SupportMapFragment mapFragment;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_google_maps, container, false);
FragmentManager fm = getChildFragmentManager();
mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
map = googleMap;
initMap();
}
});
return view;
}
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
// frameListContainer = ((GoogleMapsAndBookmarksContainer) this.getActivity()).getFrameAttributesArrayList();
// bookmarkInfo = ((GoogleMapsAndBookmarksContainer) this.getActivity()).getBookmarkInfo();
// markerToFrameAndRoute = new HashMap<Marker, String[]>();
}
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mapFragment = null;
System.gc();
map = null; // I did add this in an edit, but it was mistakenly taken away when I was cutting it up, sorry
}
}
So, is this solvable? I can't work out what it is that it's retaining. I did notice if I keep going back on Google Maps and off it, it is garbage collecting it, so it's not a memory leak.
edit: have tried map.clear(); still keeps the memory

Just clear map
#Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
map.clear();
}

One probable solution to this problem may be to use a retained fragment using setRetainInstance(boolean retain). In this process the map fragment wont destroy and recreate itself dumping a lot of memory, instead it will just retain the memory when it is needed, when you switch map fragment back and forth (by pressing back button).
public class RetainMapActivity extends FragmentActivity {
private GoogleMap mMap;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.basic_demo);
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
// First incarnation of this activity.
mapFragment.setRetainInstance(true);
} else {
// Reincarnated activity. The obtained map is the same map instance in the previous
// activity life cycle. There is no need to reinitialize it.
mMap = mapFragment.getMap();
}
setUpMapIfNeeded();
}
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
setUpMapIfNeeded();
}
private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
if (mMap == null) {
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
if (mMap != null) {
setUpMap();
}
}
}
private void setUpMap() {
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(0, 0)).title("Marker"));
}
Another solution to this may be to use a Otto event bus which is designed to decouple different parts of your application while still allowing them to communicate efficiently.
Hope this Helps!!

android GoogleMap is null, displays fine but can't add markers/polylines

I have a GoogleMap which displays fine (within a SupportMapFragment) and uses the GoogleMapOptions for the target camera location. However, I am unable to add markers/polylines to the GoogleMap. Here is the method for creating the map:
private void createMap(List<LatLng> latLngs) {
if(map == null) {
GoogleMapOptions options = new GoogleMapOptions();
mapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance(options);
map = mapFragment.getMap();
float zoom = 13;
CameraPosition cameraP = new CameraPosition(latLngs.get(0), zoom, 0, 0);
options.camera(cameraP);
//TODO MAP IS NULL - SORT OUT!
// check it has been instantiated
if (map != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "map is not null");
map.clear();
//Calculate target zoom, based on trip size
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
.newCameraPosition(cameraP));
// Add LatLngs to polyline
PolylineOptions poly = new PolylineOptions().color(Color.RED);
MarkerOptions startMarker = new MarkerOptions()
.position(latLngs.get(0)).title("Start");
MarkerOptions endMarker = null;
if(latLngs.size() > 1) {
endMarker = new MarkerOptions().position(
latLngs.get(latLngs.size() - 1)).title("End");
}
for (LatLng latLng : latLngs) {
poly.add(latLng);
}
map.addPolyline(poly);
map.addMarker(startMarker);
map.addMarker(endMarker);
}
ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.add(R.id.trip_summary_map_container, mapFragment);
ft.commit();
}
}
As you can see from the inline comments, the map is still null (although it is displaying and using the options). Just can't add things to it. I assume I am not instantiating it properly?
The Activity extends FragmentActivity, and I have set up all the necessary stuff for using the Maps API.
Thank you for any help.

EDIT: I have posted a new answer with the solution I prefer to use now.
I had the same problem some days ago and I solved it extending SupportMapFragment class so that it executes a callback method once the map is finally ready.
public class ExtendedSupportMapFragment extends SupportMapFragment {
public static interface MapReadyListener {
public void mapIsReady(GoogleMap map);
}
#Deprecated
public static SupportMapFragment newInstance() {
return null;
}
#Deprecated
public static SupportMapFragment newInstance(GoogleMapOptions options) {
return null;
}
public static ExtendedSupportMapFragment newInstance(MapReadyListener mapReadyListener) {
ExtendedSupportMapFragment fragment = new ExtendedSupportMapFragment();
fragment.mapReadyListener = mapReadyListener;
return fragment;
}
private MapReadyListener mapReadyListener;
#Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
if (mapReadyListener != null)
mapReadyListener.mapIsReady(getMap());
}
}
Then you just need to do something like this:
public class RutaMapaFragment extends SherlockFragment implements ExtendedSupportMapFragment.MapReadyListener {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
fragmentMapa = ExtendedSupportMapFragment.newInstance(RutaMapaFragment.this);
}
...
#Override
public void mapIsReady(GoogleMap map) {
//Do whatever you want with your map.
}
}

So, time has passed and all. The fact is that I don't use the solution in my previous answer anymore, but prefer to use a ViewTreeObserver instead. The following code shows a rather simple fragment with a SupportMapFragment being added to it.
The method createMap() adds the SupportMapFragment and then executes setupMap(), but only via a OnGlobalLayoutListener that will basically be executed once the map is actually ready. Of course, this listener is removed immediately—there's no need to keep it there any longer.
public class MyMapFragment extends Fragment {
private View mMapContainer;
private SupportMapFragment mMapFragment;
private GoogleMap mMap;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = inflater.inflate(/* ... */);
// ...
mMapContainer = view.findViewById(R.id.map_fragment_container);
createMap();
return view;
}
private void createMap() {
mMapFragment = new SupportMapFragment();
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.map_fragment_container, mMapFragment)
.commit();
mMapContainer.getViewTreeObserver()
.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
mMapContainer.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
} else {
mMapContainer.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
}
mMap = mMapFragment.getMap();
setupMap();
}
});
}
private void setupMap() {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
// ...
}
}

Try to add the Marker & PolyLines in the map using below code:
GoogleMap mMap;
static final CameraPosition BONDI =
new CameraPosition.Builder().target(new LatLng(-33.891614, 151.276417))
.zoom(15.5f)
.bearing(300)
.tilt(50)
.build();
changeCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(BONDI));
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(-33.891614, 151.276417)).title("Bondi"));
private void changeCamera(CameraUpdate update) {
changeCamera(update, null);
}
/**
* Change the camera position by moving or animating the camera depending on the state of the
* animate toggle button.
*/
private void changeCamera(CameraUpdate update, CancelableCallback callback) {
boolean animated = ((CompoundButton) findViewById(R.id.animate)).isChecked();
if (animated) {
mMap.animateCamera(update, callback);
} else {
mMap.moveCamera(update);
}
}
Add the PolyLines as below:
// A simple polyline with the default options from Melbourne-Adelaide-Perth.
mMap.addPolyline((new PolylineOptions())
.add(BONDI));

Initialize MapFragment programmatically with Maps API v2

I'm trying to add a MapFragment to my current Fragment. The use of nested fragments is restricted to FragmentTransactions, you can't use the xml tag in your layout.
Also, I want it to be added to the main Fragment when the user presses a button. So, I'm creating the MapFragment programmatically with getInstance() when the user presses that button and adding it to the proper place. It is shown correctly, so far so good.
The problem is that after attaching the MapFragment I need to get a reference to GoogleMap to place a Marker, but the getMap() method returns null (as the fragment's onCreateView() hasn't been called yet).
I looked at the demo example code and I found the solution they use is initializing the MapFragment in onCreate() and getting the reference to GoogleMap in onResume(), after onCreateView() has been called.
I need to get the reference to GoogleMap right after the MapFragment initialization, because I want the users to be able to show or hide the map with a button. I know a possible solution would be to create the Map at the start as said above and just set it's visibility gone, but I want the map to be off by default so it doesn't take the user's bandwidth if they don't explicitly asked for it.
I tried with the MapsInitializer, but doesn't work either. I'm kind of stuck. Any ideas?
Here is my testing code so far:
public class ParadaInfoFragment extends BaseDBFragment {
// BaseDBFragment is just a SherlockFragment with custom utility methods.
private static final String MAP_FRAGMENT_TAG = "map";
private GoogleMap mMap;
private SupportMapFragment mMapFragment;
private TextView mToggleMapa;
private boolean isMapVisible = false;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_parada_info, container, false);
mToggleMapa = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.parada_info_map_button);
return v;
}
#Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
mToggleMapa.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (!isMapVisible) {
openMap();
} else {
closeMap();
}
isMapVisible = !isMapVisible;
}
});
}
private void openMap() {
// Creates initial configuration for the map
GoogleMapOptions options = new GoogleMapOptions().camera(CameraPosition.fromLatLngZoom(new LatLng(37.4005502611301, -5.98233461380005), 16))
.compassEnabled(false).mapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL).rotateGesturesEnabled(false).scrollGesturesEnabled(false).tiltGesturesEnabled(false)
.zoomControlsEnabled(false).zoomGesturesEnabled(false);
// Modified from the sample code:
// It isn't possible to set a fragment's id programmatically so we set a
// tag instead and search for it using that.
mMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(MAP_FRAGMENT_TAG);
// We only create a fragment if it doesn't already exist.
if (mMapFragment == null) {
// To programmatically add the map, we first create a
// SupportMapFragment.
mMapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance(options);
// Then we add it using a FragmentTransaction.
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.parada_info_map_container, mMapFragment, MAP_FRAGMENT_TAG);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
// We can't be guaranteed that the map is available because Google Play
// services might not be available.
setUpMapIfNeeded(); //XXX Here, getMap() returns null so the Marker can't be added
// The map is shown with the previous options.
}
private void closeMap() {
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.remove(mMapFragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
// Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the
// map.
if (mMap == null) {
// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = mMapFragment.getMap();
// Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (mMap != null) {
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(37.4005502611301, -5.98233461380005)).title("Marker"));
}
}
}
}
Thanks

The good AnderWebs gave me an answer in Google+ but he is too laz.... emm busy to write it here again, so here is the short version:
Extend the MapFragment class and override the onCreateView() method. After this method is done we can get a non-null reference to que GoogleMap object.
This is my particular solution:
public class MiniMapFragment extends SupportMapFragment {
private LatLng mPosFija;
public MiniMapFragment() {
super();
}
public static MiniMapFragment newInstance(LatLng posicion){
MiniMapFragment frag = new MiniMapFragment();
frag.mPosFija = posicion;
return frag;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater arg0, ViewGroup arg1, Bundle arg2) {
View v = super.onCreateView(arg0, arg1, arg2);
initMap();
return v;
}
private void initMap(){
UiSettings settings = getMap().getUiSettings();
settings.setAllGesturesEnabled(false);
settings.setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);
getMap().moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(mPosFija,16));
getMap().addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(mPosFija).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.marker)));
}
}
Now in the previous Fragment class I do
mMapFragment = MiniMapFragment.newInstance(new LatLng(37.4005502611301, -5.98233461380005));
Maybe it's not perfect yet, because the screen blinks when showing the map. But not sure if the problem is because of this or something else.

Thanks, found this very helpful. Am posting my slightly modified solution, as it was cleaner for me to tell the parent Fragment when the map was ready. This method also works with a saveInstanceState / restoreInstanceState cycle.
public class CustomMapFragment extends SupportMapFragment {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "CustomMapFragment";
public CustomMapFragment() {
super();
}
public static CustomMapFragment newInstance() {
CustomMapFragment fragment = new CustomMapFragment();
return fragment;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater arg0, ViewGroup arg1, Bundle arg2) {
View v = super.onCreateView(arg0, arg1, arg2);
Fragment fragment = getParentFragment();
if (fragment != null && fragment instanceof OnMapReadyListener) {
((OnMapReadyListener) fragment).onMapReady();
}
return v;
}
/**
* Listener interface to tell when the map is ready
*/
public static interface OnMapReadyListener {
void onMapReady();
}
}
To use as a nested Fragment:-
public class ParentFragment extends Fragment implements OnMapReadyListener {
...
mMapFragment = CustomMapFragment.newInstance();
getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.mapContainer, mMapFragment).commit();
#Override
public void onMapReady() {
mMap = mMapFragment.getMap();
}
...
}
Hope it helps someone.

Here's my solution to this, I took inspiration from the code previously posted and cleaned it up. I also added the static methods with and without the GoogleMapOptions parameters.
public class GoogleMapFragment extends SupportMapFragment {
private static final String SUPPORT_MAP_BUNDLE_KEY = "MapOptions";
public static interface OnGoogleMapFragmentListener {
void onMapReady(GoogleMap map);
}
public static GoogleMapFragment newInstance() {
return new GoogleMapFragment();
}
public static GoogleMapFragment newInstance(GoogleMapOptions options) {
Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
arguments.putParcelable(SUPPORT_MAP_BUNDLE_KEY, options);
GoogleMapFragment fragment = new GoogleMapFragment();
fragment.setArguments(arguments);
return fragment;
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
mCallback = (OnGoogleMapFragmentListener) getActivity();
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(getActivity().getClass().getName() + " must implement OnGoogleMapFragmentListener");
}
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View view = super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
if (mCallback != null) {
mCallback.onMapReady(getMap());
}
return view;
}
private OnGoogleMapFragmentListener mCallback;
}
The usage pattern is as follows:
public class MyMapActivity implements OnGoogleMapFragmentListener {
...
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
mUIGoogleMap = map;
...
}
...
private GoogleMap mUIGoogleMap;
}

No need to cutomize SupportMapFragment you can do this directly by using following piece of code,
FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager(); // getChildFragmentManager inside fragments.
CameraPosition cp = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(initialLatLng) // your initial co-ordinates here. like, LatLng initialLatLng
.zoom(zoom_level)
.build();
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance(new GoogleMapOptions().camera(cp));
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.rl_map, mapFragment).commit();
Add this piece of code for layout
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rl_map"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
This will load GoogleMap at particular Location directly i.e, initialLatLng.
