I'm getting an NullPointerException with the following code:
private ProjectionProxy proxy = new ProjectionProxy();
private GoogleMap mMap = null;
private Context context = this;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle load) {
super.onCreate(load);
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_ride_tracking);
//mMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.myMapView)).getMap();
mMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
int result = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(context);
mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
//SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.myMapView);
//mMap = mapFragment.getMap();
Log.e("RideTracking", "Google Map VALUE:"+mMap);
if (mMap != null) {
proxy.setProjection(mMap.getProjection());
}
The line where the NullPointerException is happening is this line of code:
mMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
I'm not initializing my mMap variable to null. What is my issue here?
Try to check the MapFragment that you've created in the XML of the Activity. Check mine; it's working.
...
<fragment
android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
...
Is yours different? Also, you checked if you put the correct permissions and metadata on the AndroidManifest.xml?
Here's the permission:
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
And here's the metadata section:
<application>
...
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="HERE GOES YOUR API KEY" />
</application>
I hope this helps you!
MainActivity.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>
MainActivity.java :
private GoogleMap googleMap;
googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
You may be missing this from manifest.xml
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>
