Add Google Maps API V2 in a fragment

Question

I'm trying to show the map from the Google Maps API V2 in fragment. I tried with the SupportMapFragment, but I can't get the expected output. Also I'm a beginner on this platform! What I really want is just a way to put a map from the Google Maps API V2 for Android in a fragment. Please share your ideas and references.

Thanks in Advance !

Here is the code,

public class YourFragment extends Fragment {     // ...   static final LatLng HAMBURG = new LatLng(53.558, 9.927);           static final LatLng KIEL = new LatLng(53.551, 9.993);           private GoogleMap map;      public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,                              Bundle savedInstanceState) {          View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourlayout, null, false);          map = ((SupportMapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))             .getMap();  Marker hamburg = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(HAMBURG)                 .title("Hamburg"));             Marker kiel = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()                 .position(KIEL)                 .title("Kiel")                 .snippet("Kiel is cool")                 .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory                     .fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher)));              // Move the camera instantly to hamburg with a zoom of 15.             map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(HAMBURG, 15));              // Zoom in, animating the camera.             map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null);          //...          return v;     } 

Your layout,

 <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=".MainActivity" >      <fragment         android:id="@+id/map"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="match_parent"         class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />  </RelativeLayout> 

Make some changes in your manifest file also.Like,

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     package="com.myapp.android.locationapi.maps"     android:versionCode="1"     android:versionName="1.0" >      <uses-sdk         android:minSdkVersion="17"         android:targetSdkVersion="17" />      <permission         android:name="com.myapp.android.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"         android:protectionLevel="signature" />      <uses-feature         android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"         android:required="true" />      <uses-permission android:name="com.myapp.android.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />     <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />      <application         android:allowBackup="true"         android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"         android:label="@string/app_name"         android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >         <activity             android:name="com.myapp.android.locationapi.maps.MainActivity"             android:label="@string/app_name" >             <intent-filter>                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />             </intent-filter>         </activity>          <meta-data             android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"             android:value="your_apikey" />     </application>  </manifest>
