How can I access getSupportFragmentManager() in a

Question

I have a FragmentActivity and I want to use a map fragment within it. I'm having a problem getting the support fragment manager to access it.

 if (googleMap == null) {
            googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                    .findFragmentById(R.id.map1)).getMap();

            // check if map is created successfully or not
            if (googleMap == null) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        "Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();
            }
        }

            // create marker
            MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions().position(
                    new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("Hello Maps ");

            CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
                    .target(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).zoom(15).build();

            googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
                    .newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));

            // adding marker
            googleMap.addMarker(marker);

getSupportFragmentManager() used when you are in activity and want to get a fragment but in the fragment you can access

getSupportFragmentManager()

by use another method called getFragmentMangaer() works the same like getSupportFragmentManager() and you can use it like you used to:

fragmentTransaction =getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
