Google Play Service - Supportmapfragment.getmap() Always Returning Null

Solution 1:

As CommonsWare stated in the linked question, the problem only occures when creating the SupportMapFragment programmatically and not a <fragment> XML tag.

If created programmatically, the map will be available in the onActivityCreated() call. So my workaround is the following:

mMapFragment = newSupportMapFragment() {
            @OverridepublicvoidonActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
                GoogleMapmap= mMapFragment.getMap();
                if (map != null) {
                    //Your initialization code goes here
                }
            }
        };
