Android - android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class fragment

I am developing an app using a NavigationDrawer i.e. DrawerLayout and navigating to different Fragments. When I call a Map_Fragment_Page the application crashes, but not the first time. For the first time it displays the Map properly but after that when I navigate different fragments and again come to Map_Fragment_Page then it crashes giving an error android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #8: Error inflating class fragment

I tried so many different solutions and I also also searched on Google but still not getting the required solution. The problem is not yet fixed.

Answer

Yes.. I want Map inside a Fragment.

You should use a MapView

http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/MapView.html

public class HowToReach  extends Fragment {
    MapView mapView;

    GoogleMap map;
    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment2, container, false);
        // Gets the MapView from the XML layout and creates it

        try {
            MapsInitializer.initialize(getActivity());
        } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
            Log.e("Address Map", "Could not initialize google play", e);

        }

        switch (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getActivity()) )
        {
            case ConnectionResult.SUCCESS:
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "SUCCESS", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                mapView = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.map);
                mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                // Gets to GoogleMap from the MapView and does initialization stuff
                if(mapView!=null)

                {
                    map = mapView.getMap();
                    map.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);
                    map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
                    CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(43.1, -87.9), 10);
                    map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
                }
                break;
            case ConnectionResult.SERVICE_MISSING: 
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "SERVICE MISSING", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                break;
            case ConnectionResult.SERVICE_VERSION_UPDATE_REQUIRED: 
                Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "UPDATE REQUIRED", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                break;
            default: Toast.makeText(getActivity(), GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getActivity()), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }





        // Updates the location and zoom of the MapView

        return v;
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        mapView.onResume();
        super.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        mapView.onDestroy();
    }
    @Override
    public void onLowMemory() {
        super.onLowMemory();
        mapView.onLowMemory();
    }

}

fragment2.xml

    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">


            android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:id="@+id/map" />

Update:

https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/MapView#public-constructors

getMap() is deprecated. Use getMapAsync(OnMapReadyCallback) instead. The callback method provides you with a GoogleMap instance guaranteed to be non-null and ready to be used.
