I am trying to integrate Google Map V2 in my project in android studio.I added google play services as dependencies in build.gradle file as below :
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.71'
}
I also changed my AndroidManifest.xml file as follows:
<permission android:name="app.me.locationalarm.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="app.me.locationalarm.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<!-- Required to show current location -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<!-- Required OpenGL ES 2.0. for Maps V2 -->
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name=".HomeActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="MY_API_KEY" />
</manifest>
In my view layout I add a fragment.
<fragment
android:id="@+id/mapView"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
In my activity I create a method createMapView as below:
private void createMapView(){
try {
if(null == googleMap){
googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapView)).getMap();
if(null == googleMap) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
"Error creating map", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
} catch (NullPointerException exception){
Log.e("mapApp", exception.toString());
}
}
I called this method from my OnCreate Method. When I tried to execute my project, I found an Error like that:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: app.me.locationalarm, PID: 18446
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{app.me.locationalarm/app.me.locationalarm.HomeActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #11: Error inflating class fragment
My target SdkVersion is 21.Any idea how I can solve it? I have found some answer but none of these help me out.
put "meta-data" tag information within "applicaiton" tag in mainfest.
