Instantiate Google Map Fragment in another activity

Question

I have main activity and one fragment. In that fragment, I have used Google Map. I want to know, how to pass instance of map fragment to main activity with java. Because I want to manipulate that map into main activity.

I have this class in main activity

public static class HomeFragment extends Fragment {

    private static View view;

    public HomeFragment() {
    }

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

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

}

fragment_home.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="0dp"
tools:context="com.gaurav.googlemap.HomeMap" >

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

</RelativeLayout>

I want to instantiate map below this line in main activity,

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

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can add any method say

  public void getFragment(Fragment fragment){

}

in the MainActivty and in the fragment

you can call this method by using the following code...

  ((MainActivity)getActivity()).getFragment(this);

I hope it will help you.....

fyi, https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#getting_the_google_maps_android_api_v2

yourmap.xml

<FrameLayout 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:padding="2dp"
    >
    <com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
         android:id="@+id/mapview"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="match_parent"
    />

     // Gets the MapView from the XML layout and creates it
    mapView = (MapView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.mapview);
    mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setCurrentLocationMarker();

    return rootView;

            CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(myLatitude, myLongitude), 10);
            map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);

            MarkerInfo markerinfo = new MarkerInfo("", "Current Location", myLatitude, myLongitude, true);
            addMarker(markerinfo);
        }


        map.setOnMarkerClickListener(onClickListener);
        map.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(onInfoWindowClickListener);            
        marker.showInfoWindow();

    } catch (Exception e) {
       Log.e(TAG, "Exception : "+e.getMessage());
    }
}

mapView = (MapFragment) ((Activity)mContext).getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_view);

这对我有用
