Map Fragment crash while changing navigation

Question

I have a navigation drawer where Map is an option among other item. When I click in my Map it works. Than if I go to other navigation drawer item and back in Map again, it crash. Can anyone tell me the reason??

here is the code..

public class Map extends Fragment {
private GoogleMap mMap;

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

    return view;
}

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    setUpMapIfNeeded();
}

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    setUpMapIfNeeded();

}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
}

private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {

    if (mMap == null) {

        FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager();
        mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.map))
                .getMap();
        if (mMap != null) {
            setUpMap();
        }
    }
}

private void setUpMap() {
    LatLng latlang = new LatLng(53.0847558, 8.8208279);

    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(latlang).title("Marker"));

    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latlang, 15));

    mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(14), 2000, null);
}}

This is the xml

<fragment xmlns:android="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" />

and here is my error log message

Answer 1

The problem is that the view gets destroyed once you navigate to another tab that is not a neighbor-tab of the one that includes the map. This results in the following line from your stacktrace:

Binary XML file line #3: Duplicate id 0x7f050011, tag null, or parent id 0x0 with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment

So you are trying to recreate the map. A better solution is to save the view before it gets destroyed

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle     savedInstanceState) {
if (view != null) {
    ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) view.getParent();
    if (parent != null)
        parent.removeView(view);
}
try {
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map, container, false);
} catch (InflateException e) {
    /* map is already there, just return view as it is */
}
return view;
}
