Binary XML file, Error inflating class

Question

I have searched for the issue, but haven't found a solution. This is my AndroidManifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.solinpromex.vivegrancanaria"
    android:versionCode="1"

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>

      android:label="@string/app_name">

      android:label="@string/app_name">

   <activity

      android:label="@string/app_name">

      android:label="@string/app_name">

</activity>
<activity
      android:name=".Mapa_MainActivity"
      android:label="@string/app_name"> 
</activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

This is XML layout file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

   <fragment
      android:id="@+id/map"
      android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</RelativeLayout>

And this my activity code:

import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.widget.Toast;


public class Mapa_MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {


   private GoogleMap map;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.mapa_activity_main);
       map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
               .getMap();
   }
}

And this log cat text for the exception:

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Replace

((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
               .getMap();

with

  ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
                       .getMap();

plz update your minimum version to 12 and

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
                android:value="key hidden"/>
should be inside application tag

Answer 2

In the XML you are using SupportMapFragment

      android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

hence you should use SupportMapFragment and getSupportFragmentManager instead of MapFragment and getFragmentManager

map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
           .getMap();

Change the above line to

map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
           .getMap();

I can see that you have android.support.v4.app.Fragment imported. Import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment

Also make sure that you have android.support.v4.jar in your libs folder and in the project build path.
