Can't draw Google Maps v2 with Navigation Drawer

Can't draw Google Maps v2 with Navigation Drawer - android

Ok, so I just begun with Android Development and basically my issue is what title describes. What I tried until now is to create a default Drawer Navigation Activity project and write a Google Maps Fragment class and lastly inflate this to the main content.
The reason I want this to work is because Drawer Nav Activity looks nice and it would be nice to have google maps in the main screen of it.
By reading the Docs: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html I understand that in order to successfully display a fragment inside another activity you need to firstly create a Google Maps Class that extends MapFragment or Fragment and secondly declare the fragment inside the activity's layout file.
No matter what I tried, it just never works. I have managed to draw Google Maps successfully but its Class code is not being invoked, thus Maps actions do not exist.
The google maps responsible GMapsFragment Class (I think that the marked line below (35) is causing the error in conjuction with the maps xml file):
package com.example.s0me0n3.ytgooglemapstut;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
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.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView;
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 GMapsFragment extends Fragment {
public MapView mapView;
private static GoogleMap googleMap;
public GMapsFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
Log.w("GMAPS", "Map place 1");
// **********************************************************************************
// The line below throws an inflation error when trying to parse the fragment_map xml
// **********************************************************************************
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map, container, false);
// Log.w("GMAPS", "Map place 1");
if (googleMap != null)
setUpMap();
if (googleMap == null) {
googleMap = ((MapFragment) MyActivity.fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.ContactMapView)).getMap();
if (googleMap != null) {
setUpMap();
}
}
return rootView;
}
private static void setUpMap() {
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(41.009471, 28.916134)).title("baslik"));
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(41.009471, 28.916134), 12.0f));
}
#Override
public void onDestroyView() {
super.onDestroyView();
if (googleMap != null) {
MyActivity.fragmentManager.beginTransaction()

and the main activity class MyActivity:

Note: If I change the line 73 "GMapsFragment fragment = new GMapsFragment();" in the MyActivity Class with something like this "Fragment fragment = new MapFragment();" then it works fine, but of course the GMapsFragment is not being run. Instead a default gmaps is being displayed with no functionalities at all. However, I do not understand why the inflation of my own gmaps fragment will not work.
After that, I understand that I have to include the Google Maps fragment inside the main xml.. so here is the activity_my.xml:
<!-- A DrawerLayout is intended to be used as the top-level content view using match_parent for both width and height to consume the full space available. -->

Last words.. I tried running the GMapsFragment class from other xml files or the my_activity.xml but I always end up getting errors.
So, after that wall spam, let me explain to you my goal. I would like to use the default produced Drawer Nav code from Android Studio in conjuction with a Google Maps that is being displayed on the main content.
Any enlightenment would be awesome. I have been searching for the last 6 days for a solution with no luck. It has to be a really silly mistake, I know but I am stuck.
P.S: I have seen examples using the SupportMapFragment but I would like to make my above code work or understand why this is impossible if so.

Change your fragment_map.xml to :
<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">
<fragment
android:id="#+id/ContactMapView"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

NullPointerException - I don't understand what's wrong

I am a complete newbie in android development. At the moment I am trying to replicate an app I saw on where it is possible to convert multiple images (jpeg, png, jpg) into a single pdf file. I have tried to do the most I can with debugging. But I don't understand why there are still this NullPointer Exception.

Since you are extending the AppCompatActivity, try to get the actionbar via 'getSupportActionbar()'.

Android Studio - Dynamic Fragment crashing App

I am trying to link a Fragment, RecycleView and CardView using a variation of the tutorial found on:
http://www.treyrobinson.net/blog/android-l-tutorials-part-3-recyclerview-and-cardview/
Unfortunately my app crashes with the following error message:
"java.lang.IllegalStateException: RecyclerView has no LayoutManager"
I am fairly new with Android development. I tried to find similar issues on Stackoverflow but am unable to find the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Layout of the main activity: "activity_library.xml":
<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=".LibraryActivity">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/library_activity_recycler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".LibraryActivity"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
The main activity class "LibraryActivity.java":
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.util.Log;
public class LibraryActivity extends AppCompatActivity{
private static final String TAG = LibraryActivity.class.getSimpleName();
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); /**Create the activity and populate the savedInstanceState if the activity existed but has been destroyed (otherwise savedInstanceState will return 'null'*/
setContentView(R.layout.activity_library); /** Call to the XML layout library which display the activity */
if (savedInstanceState != null) {
// Restore value of members from saved state
} else {
// Probably initialize members with default values for a new instance
}
try {
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
BooksFragment bookFragment = new BooksFragment();
fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.library_activity_recycler_view,bookFragment);
/*The line below is the one generating the error - java.lang.IllegalStateException: RecyclerView has no LayoutManager*/
fragmentTransaction.commit();
}
catch(Exception e){
Log.d(TAG,"[ERROR] " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
The layout of the fragment "fragment_books.xml":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/Book_Recycler_View"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView>
</LinearLayout>
And the fragment class:
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutManager;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class BooksFragment extends Fragment {
public BooksFragment() {
// Required empty public constructor
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_library, container, false);
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(getActivity());
layoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
RecyclerView bookRecycler = (RecyclerView) v.findViewById(R.id.library_activity_recycler_view);
bookRecycler.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
BookRecyclerViewAdapter adapter = new BookRecyclerViewAdapter();
bookRecycler.setAdapter(adapter);
/*In the line below should we return the view 'v' or the RecyclerView 'bookRecycler'??*/
return bookRecycler;
}
}
As I said I am fairly new to Android and therefore apologies if my code contains quite a few errors. Thanks for your help!

You must return the view ie. v in the onCreateView method of the Fragment inherited class.

I've already fixed the missing implementation in my activity class.
The real problem here is the inflation error.
Thanks!

your problem is from these lines of code:
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
mListener = (OnFragmentInteractionListener) activity;
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString()
+ " must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener");
}
}
your activity must implement OnFragmentInteractionListener, but you do not implement that in your MyActivity.

There really is no point in answering questions if the answer doesn't reply to the question asked (Please note the last two lines of my question)...
That being said, i figured out how to solve the problem and for anyone having the same issue the problem resided in the fact that MyActivity was not pointing to the fragment in it's onCreate() Method.
i solved it by changing
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
.commit();
}
}
in particular the line:
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
to:
.add(R.id.container, new MainToolbarFrag())
where MainToolbarFrag() is the class of your fragment.

Obviously the key to the generated code has been hidden.
I hope you can help me.

the problem is that your are getting the map before you initialized ur sopportmapfragment thats why your map is null.. try to switch it initialized the map fragment first and get the map.

Your null pointer is likely because it can not find R.id.map in the current layout (activity_main.xml).
After looking through your code, I don't see where you ever inflate the map xml file and add it to your layout.
Perhaps you meant to add an include statement
<include layout="#layout/map"/>
instead of the frame layout so that it is actually instantiated?
Either that, or inflate the map.xml file, attach it to your layout, and then call findViewById.

java.lang.NullPointerException Google Maps Android API V2

I would like to begin by saying I know this error has been posted about 2,000 times, but after looking through pages and pages of people with the same issue and trying all of their fixes, none of them have worked so I decided to make a new question. I apologize if there is a thread with a solution for my specific problem, I was not able to locate it.
With that out of the way, I believe the error is that there is a NullPointerException on line 41 of MainActivity.Java, because the Google Map is null and not being initialized.
Line 41 is as follows:
map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapU)).getMap();
If I remove all of my code from MainActivity.Java, leaving only the code generated by Android Studio, the app starts up fine and will display a Google Map of the World, so I don't think it has anything to do with my API key or Google Play Services not being updated.
Some stuff I have tried is:
-Switching from FragmentManager to SupportFragmentManager on line 41 (When I did this I changed the map from FragmentMap to SupportMapFragment)
-Adding permissions to the Manifest file, you can see everything I have ended up with.
-Different devices (Doesn't work on a Samsung Galaxy S2 or a Galaxy S4)
-I was originally on minSDK 12, decided to change to 16 just to see if it would help, nothing
NOTE: When I first created this project, for some reason the MainActivity.Java said extends ActionBarActivity instead of FragmentActivity, so I changed it to say FragmentActivity, but I was having this issue both before and after.

Thanks in advance!

//Actually you have declared frafment id android:id="#+id/mapU" in layout Fragment_Main.xml
but your are calling in MainActivity.java with layout activity_main.xml
make sure that you are declared map fragment in activity_mail.xml.
or call the map in your
PlaceholderFragment
map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()rootView.findFragmentById(R.id.mapU)).getMap();

ANSWER:
I figured it out finally after hours of tearing my hair out. The code had to be moved under the Fragment Activity Class.
