Question

i want to show/hide googleMap.

GoogleMap  googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                    .findFragmentById(R.id.map2)).getMap();

how to set setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE) OR setVisibility(View.VISIBLE) ??

Answer 1

you should hide the Fragment itself, or you can try with getView().setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE) inside the SupportMapFragment subclass.

From your Activity:

FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction ft = fm.beginTransaction()
ft.hide(mFragment).commit();
