android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file : Error inflating class fragment

Question

I am using GoogleMap in android app using Android Studio. It was working fine and don\'t know why suddenly it stopped working. minSdkVersion is 15

Answer 1

After adding permission in manifest, It solved my issue. Check below code :

<uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        android:maxSdkVersion="24" />
<uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"
        android:maxSdkVersion="24" />

Answer 2

getChildFragmentManager is used in Nested Fragments. The fragment you've used is not a child of another fragment. Use getSupportFragmentManager or getFragmentManager for fragment transactions.

Take a look at this question for more information.

In addition, I would like to mention that You're integrating an old Maps API. Try the latest one https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/map

Answer 3

If it crashes second time, you need to destroy it.

public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
    getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(mapfragmentnamehere).commit();
}

Answer 4

public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {

    setUpMap(googleMap);

}

Answer 5

Please use getMapAsync.

SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this)

Answer 6

In your onCreate add:

 SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);

In XML add context:

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="com.___yourPackageName______"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/mapFragment"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    tools:context="com.___yourPackageName______"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</FrameLayout>
