How to use SupportMapFragment inside a Fragment?

Question
I know that there has been an issue in using a nested fragment. But my application was designed to run on fragments and if i will be using activity for the map, my casting functions will have error.
I would like to ask help from you on how to achieve this. I've been searching in the internet but i couldn't find best solution.
I've tried this code:
private void setUpMapIfNeeded() {
// Do a null check to confirm that we have not already instantiated the map.
if (mMap == null) {
// Try to obtain the map from the SupportMapFragment.
mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) myFragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_con))
.getMap();
// Check if we were successful in obtaining the map.
if (mMap != null) {
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
}
}
}
this would give me duplicate error because of R.id.map_con is a fragment inside my fragment.
So I look for a work around, this time, R.id.map_con is a frame layout and in the run time I created the SupportMapFragment to it.
SupportMapFragment mSupportMapFragment = new SupportMapFragment();
myFragmentActivity.getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.replace(R.id.map_con, mSupportMapFragment).commit();
though this does not give me a duplicate every time a close and open the fragment. but my error is that mSupportMapFragment.getMap is always null., I don't get it why its null?.
mMap = mSupportMapFragment.newInstance().getMap();
if (mMap != null){
Log.e("ReportFragment","mMap is not empty");
}else{
Log.e("ReportFragment","mMap is empty");
}
I would really appreciate any inputs from you guys, or do you have another work around but still in this process, i.e Fragment inside fragment
Thanks

Solution 2
I just met my luck, while making this post,I found what Im looking for.
I have used this:
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_location, container, false);
mMapFragment = new SupportMapFragment() {
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
mMap = mMapFragment.getMap();
if (mMap != null) {
setupMap();
}
}
};
getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(R.id.framelayout_location_container, mMapFragment).commit();
return v;
}

OTHER TIPS
getMap()
is deprecated
The code should be something like this in a Fragment
:
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_location, container, false);
mMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mMapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
return v;
}
I have used it in the given manner and it's working fine.
It's also working with getChildFragmentManager()
MapyFragment
public class MapyFragment extends Fragment implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private Context mContext;
private SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment;
private GoogleMap map;
private MarkerOptions currentPositionMarker = null;
private Marker currentLocationMarker;
@Nullable
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
mContext = getActivity();
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_mapy, container, false);
}
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
mContext = getActivity();
FragmentManager fm = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();/// getChildFragmentManager();
supportMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.map_container);
if (supportMapFragment == null) {
supportMapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.map_container, supportMapFragment).commit();
}
supportMapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
map = googleMap;
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(mContext, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15));
/*map.setOnMapLongClickListener(MapyFragment.this);
map.setOnMapClickListener(MapFragment.this);*/
}
public void updateCurrentLocationMarker(Location currentLatLng){
if(map != null){
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(currentLatLng.getLatitude(),currentLatLng.getLongitude());
if(currentPositionMarker == null){
currentPositionMarker = new MarkerOptions();
currentPositionMarker.position(latLng)
.title("My Location").
icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.start_blue));
currentLocationMarker = map.addMarker(currentPositionMarker);
}
if(currentLocationMarker != null)
currentLocationMarker.setPosition(latLng);
///currentPositionMarker.position(latLng);
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
}
}
}
and fragment_mapy.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/map_container"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
map:uiZoomControls="true" />
In kotlin it could be done as follows:
class NameFragment: Fragment(){
// other code ...
private lateinit var googleMapsFragment: SupportMapFragment
override fun onCreateView(
inflater: LayoutInflater, container: ViewGroup?,
savedInstanceState: Bundle?
): View {
googleMapsFragment = childFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map_fragment) as SupportMapFragment
// other code ...
}
}
