Question

When opening my SupportMapFragment (Android maps v2) for a second time (calling setContentView) I get the following error:

The XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >
    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/hits_map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        map:mapType="normal"
        map:uiZoomControls="false"
        map:uiZoomGestures="true"
        map:cameraZoom="13"
        map:uiRotateGestures="true"
        map:uiTiltGestures="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>

MyView.class:

public class MyView extends RelativeLayout {
    private GoogleMap map;

    public MyView(Context context, FragmentActivity activity) {
        super(context);
        inflate(activity, R.layout.activity_hits, this);
        this.map = ((SupportMapFragment) activity.getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.hits_map)).getMap();
    }
}

I have no idea what this error means. Can someone explain this?

Instead of declaring de SupportMapFragment in layout, do it programatically and be sure you use getChildFragmentMananger instead of the classic getFragmentManager() to create the fragment.

  mMapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =
             mMapFragment.getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
     fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.map_root, mMapFragment);
     fragmentTransaction.commit(); 

Keep this SupportMapFragment mMapFragment as you will need it to retrieve the GoogleMap object:

  GoogleMap map = mMapFragment.getMap();
