Android Adding Maps v2 API to Master Detail Flow - Error inflating class fragment

Question

I am trying to add a Google Maps view using the version 2 API to the built in Android Master Detail flow. For some reason I am getting a error inflating class fragment exception:

I have created a new MapDetailFragment:

package com.reading.trackitparent;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;

import com.reading.trackitparent.dummy.DummyContent;

/**
 * A fragment representing a single Item detail screen. This fragment is either
 * contained in a {@link ItemListActivity} in two-pane mode (on tablets) or a
 * {@link ItemDetailActivity} on handsets.
 */
public class MapDetailFragment extends Fragment {
    /**
     * The fragment argument representing the item ID that this fragment
     * represents.
     */
    public static final String ARG_ITEM_ID = "item_id";

    /**
     * The dummy content this fragment is presenting.
     */
    private DummyContent.DummyItem mItem;

    /**
     * Mandatory empty constructor for the fragment manager to instantiate the
     * fragment (e.g. upon screen orientation changes).
     */
    public MapDetailFragment() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        if (getArguments().containsKey(ARG_ITEM_ID)) {
            // Load the dummy content specified by the fragment
            // arguments. In a real-world scenario, use a Loader
            // to load content from a content provider.
            mItem = DummyContent.ITEM_MAP.get(getArguments().getString(
                    ARG_ITEM_ID));
        }
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map_detail,
                container, false);

//      // Show the dummy content as text in a TextView.
//      if (mItem != null) {
//          ((TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.item_detail))
//                  .setText(mItem.content);
//      }

        return rootView;
    }
}

and I am trying to use the following 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=".ItemDetailActivity" >

    <fragment
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" />

</RelativeLayout>

ItemListActivity:

package com.reading.trackitparent;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

/**
 * An activity representing a list of Items. This activity has different
 * presentations for handset and tablet-size devices. On handsets, the activity
 * presents a list of items, which when touched, lead to a
 * {@link ItemDetailActivity} representing item details. On tablets, the
 * activity presents the list of items and item details side-by-side using two
 * vertical panes.
 * <p>
 * The activity makes heavy use of fragments. The list of items is a
 * {@link ItemListFragment} and the item details (if present) is a
 * {@link ItemDetailFragment}.
 * <p>
 * This activity also implements the required {@link ItemListFragment.Callbacks}
 * interface to listen for item selections.
 */
public class ItemListActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
        ItemListFragment.Callbacks {

    /**
     * Whether or not the activity is in two-pane mode, i.e. running on a tablet
     * device.
     */
    private boolean mTwoPane;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_item_list);

        if (findViewById(R.id.item_detail_container) != null) {
            // The detail container view will be present only in the
            // large-screen layouts (res/values-large and
            // res/values-sw600dp). If this view is present, then the
            // activity should be in two-pane mode.
            mTwoPane = true;

            // In two-pane mode, list items should be given the
            // 'activated' state when touched.
            ((ItemListFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
                    R.id.item_list)).setActivateOnItemClick(true);
        }

        // TODO: If exposing deep links into your app, handle intents here.
    }

    /**
     * Callback method from {@link ItemListFragment.Callbacks} indicating that
     * the item with the given ID was selected.
     */
    @Override
    public void onItemSelected(String id) {
        if (mTwoPane) {
            // In two-pane mode, show the detail view in this activity by
            // adding or replacing the detail fragment using a
            // fragment transaction.
            Bundle arguments = new Bundle();
            arguments.putString(MapDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, id);
            MapDetailFragment fragment = new MapDetailFragment();
            fragment.setArguments(arguments);
            getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                    .replace(R.id.item_detail_container, fragment).commit();

        } else {
            // In single-pane mode, simply start the detail activity
            // for the selected item ID.
            Intent detailIntent = new Intent(this, ItemDetailActivity.class);
            detailIntent.putExtra(MapDetailFragment.ARG_ITEM_ID, id);
            startActivity(detailIntent);
        }
    }
}

I have referenced the Google Play Services Libs. My manifest looks like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.reading.trackitparent"

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />

</manifest>

I would really appreciate any help!

Answer 1

Replace MapFragment with SupportMapFragment. SupportMapFragment is the one to use with the Android Support package backport of fragments. MapFragment is for the native API Level 11 version of fragments.
