MapFragment in Fragment, alternatives?

I need your help... I work on it until 3 days. My app is working with fragments. One of these fragments has to display a map from the Google Maps V2 api for Android.

Currently, I'm using a MapFragment, but no surprise, a fragment in a fragment is not a good idea, but it works, the map is displaying, i can edit it but when I switch of main fragment and return on it.

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Binary XML file line #59: Duplicate id 0x7f070041, tag null, or parent id 0x7f070040 with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment

at android.app.Activity.onCreateView(Activity.java:4252)

at android.view.LayoutInflater.createViewFromTag(LayoutInflater.java:673)

This is the cause when I go on another fragment and return to the one which contains the map. I'm searching until 3 days to fix this but no great results.

To resume for you, I've an Activity which calls a fragment which contains a MapFragment in the layout file. If you need more, just ask :)

Thanks

Edit : Here is the code to change Fragment in the main Activity

private void swtichFragment(Fragment fragment, Bundle bundle)
{
fragment.setBundle(this, bundle);
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
fragmentTransaction.replace(R.id.rightFragmentPlaceHolder, fragment);
fragmentTransaction.commit();
mRightFragment = fragment;
}
Solution

  • Use MapView instead of MapFragment in your Fragment's layout. Remember to call MapView's lifecycle methods:

    as described here.

    Btw. you shouldn't be using MapFragment, only SupportMapFragment and support library.

    Edit:

    If you switch to support library, you can use code from comment #1 here: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=5064#c1
