Problems with Map v2 in a Fragment as one of Fragment Tabs

Question

Have an app with 3 tabs, which I've done using tab host and fragment activity. I have a map in the first tab and when I first launch it works fine the map is shown when I switch tabs and go back my app crashes and gives me a Error inflating class Exception.

Here is the code in my tab change listerner

getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(placeholder, new MapView(), "Maps").commit();

Here is the code in my Fragment Class

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_view, container, false);

    return view;
}

Here are is my logcat

Answer 1

This was answered by Vidar here: Duplicate ID, tag null, or parent id with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment

His solution was:

if (view != null) {
    ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) view.getParent();
    if (parent != null)
        parent.removeView(view);
}
try {
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map, container, false);
} catch (InflateException e) {
    /* map is already there, just return view as it is */
}
return view;
