Question

I’m trying to implement Google Map display and below are my codes:

package com.fragments;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;

public class MapFragment extends SherlockMapFragment {

    private GoogleMap mMap;

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View root = super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);
        SupportMapFragment mapFrag= (SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.fragment_map);
        mMap = mapFrag.getMap();
        return root;
    }
}

Im getting an error that getSupportFragmentManager() is undefined for type MapFragment. However I’m a little confused as I have imported com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment. shouldn’t this method come from there then? Am I missing out some steps in getting this method to work?

If you are using this SherlockMapFragment, try:

getSherlockActivity().getSupportFragmentManager();
