android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #1: Error inflating class fragment

Question

I have the following problem: I have a FragmentActivity with two fragments. In one of them there's a MapFragment. If I open the Fragment with the map the first time all is running perfectly. But when I navigate back to the first Fragment and then open the Fragment with the map again the app crashes with the following LogCat output:

My Fragment with the map:

    public static class Map extends Fragment {

    public Map() {

    }

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

        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map, container, false);


        return rootView;
    }
}

My fragment_map.xml:

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
    tools:context=".MainActivity$Map"
    tools:ignore="MergeRootFrame"/>

My AndroidManifest.xml:

            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Could you please help me?

Answer 1

API key must be specified only in google_maps_api.xml. In the manifest meta-data tag, just put the value of the key as resource string @string/google_maps_key.

Hope it helps..!

Answer 2

If you are using FragmentActivity, that means that you are using the Android Support package's backport of fragments. In that case, you need to use SupportMapFragment, not MapFragment, in your layout.

Also note that you are attempting to put a fragment inside a fragment. While this is possible, it is unlikely to be what you want.
