Android Google Maps Fragment crashes

Question

I have embedded Google Maps V2 in my App, as the Google Tutorial says.

I get the following errors, when switching to the map fragment.

03-08 12:52:01.600: E/AndroidRuntime(30314):    at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2105)

public class MapFrag extends MapFragment {

    protected FetchData thread;
    protected Device device;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        final View lView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map, container,
                false);

        return lView;

    }

    public void setDumb() {

    }

    public Device getDevice() {
        return device;
    }

    public void setDevice(Device device) {
        this.device = device;
    }

}

Answer 1

change

android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/> to

android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/> in activity_main.xml

and change

public class MainActivity extends Activity

to public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity in MainActivity.java

these two fixes worked for me.
