Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class fragment

Question

I'm trying to add a map in a project but I cannot because there is some error when I debug the application with the fragment.

This is my XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@+id/map"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

This is my .java file:

   import android.os.Bundle;
   import android.app.Activity;

   public class MainActivity extends Activity {

   @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      }
   }

And, This is my Manifest:

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

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

<uses-feature
    android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
    android:required="true"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >



    <activity
        android:name = ".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="My_KEY"/>

</application>

</manifest>

Also, I've added google_play_services library.

your activity should extend fragmentactivity i guess or actionbaractivity — Illegal Argument

can you post the entire LogCat exception? towards the bottom of the exception log is usually an indicator of why the XML couldn't be inflated (ie: NPE etc) — panini

First you need to move <meta-data> tag under <application> tag in your manifest.xml.

<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

and your minsdk="8" so you should change this

public class MainActivity extends Activity

to

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity

and also change this

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/map"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

to

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/map"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

Your meta tag should be inside application tag. This one:

<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

it looks like the OP does have the meta-data within the application tag

Illegal Argument Over a year ago

but his googleplayservercies version is not inside application tag according to what he posted also he is setting min sdk version to 8 so he should extend fragmentactivity thats what I did in my project

panini Over a year ago

ah whoops, I was looking at the wrong meta-data block

Also OP needs to replace the API key value with his key generated by the google API console.

Illegal Argument Over a year ago

@android_Muncher you dont usually post your api key publicaly because you have to post your package name and with the api key you can do a lot of bad works so thats fine

Try to change your xml like:

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

and edit your main activity to extend FragmentActivity like this:

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

@Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  }
}
