Answer 1

I have found a super solution for this issue due to Duplicate ID, tag null, or parent id with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment: I believe this title describes your problem in another way, basically you cannot add another fragment to an already existing Fragment

Just change the the OnCreateView of the fragment:

private static View view;

public override View OnCreateView (LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{

    if (view != null)
    {
        ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup)view.Parent;
        if(parent != null)
        {
            parent.RemoveView (view);
        }
    }

    try
    {
        if (layoutId == null || layoutId == 0)
            layoutId = UI.Resource.Layout.FrgChart;
        view = inflater.Inflate (layoutId,container,false);
    }
    catch(InflateException e)
    {

    }
    return view;

}

And it works fine. smiley lol

Answer 2

Add the following,

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

in your manifest file immediately below the first meta-data tag(where you have placed your google api key)

Answer 3

// try this way,hope this will help you...

Note : please add latest google-play-services latest jar on your project build path.

activity_main.xml
<LinearLayout  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center">

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/maps"
        android:name="pl.mg6.android.maps.extensions.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    private GoogleMap googleMap;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.maps)).getExtendedMap();

        googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().title("Ahmedabad").icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_BLUE)).position(new LatLng(23.0395677, 72.56600449999996)));
        googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(23.0395677, 72.56600449999996), 12));
    }

}

// please replace com.example.Demo with your package name

Answer 4

Part of the stack trace is this message:

The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4323000 but found 0. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:

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

Have you configured this in AndroidManifest.xml?
