Answer 1

Just include the following line of code on onDestroy()

SupportMapFragment mapFragment = ((SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_location_sharing));

if(mapFragment != null) {
    FragmentManager fM = getFragmentManager();
    fM.beginTransaction().remove(mapFragment).commit();

It worked for me.Hopefully gonna work for you too. Thanks

Answer 2

Had tried all the above answers over a period of a couple of days and then eventually this worked:

Project -> Properties -> Android -> Project Build Target

Changed the project build target to android 4.3(API 18) and clicked apply

In the manifest I then manually changed the min and target sdk versions:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="18"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

This now matches the target=android-18 in the project.properties file (which resulted from the project build target change we did first)

I also tried android:minSdkVersion="11" which worked so the targetSdkVersionis the important bit.

Hope this helps someone!

Answer 3

I simply added API key to manifest and it helped

Answer 4

Frequently the problem is in Manifest.xml , so be sure that you write the right permissions like : `

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.zako.android.locationapi.maps"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="17"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

    <permission
        android:name="com.zako.android.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />

    <!-- Required OpenGL ES 2.0. for Maps V2 -->
    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true" />

    <!-- Requires OpenGL ES version 2 -->
    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.zako.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.zako.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="......" />
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
            android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
    </application>

</manifest>

`

don't forget <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> and <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Answer 5

I have the same code/same problem! Try adding android:name="com.testing.svma.MainActivity" to "fragment" in the layout! It solved the issue for me

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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.SupportMapFragment"
    android:name="com.testing.svma.MainActivity"/>

Answer 6

I had this error too and it was due to EXTERNAL PERMISSIONS. It has no sense but I added this permission and since then everything worked fine.
