Google Maps V2 On Android Devices With Minsdk Below 11

i have problem with this line when I create project which use Google maps API v2. GoogleMap map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)) .getMap()

Solution 1:

Use SupportMapFragment from a FragmentActivity, instead of MapFragment from an Activity. To use fragments on devices older than API Level 11, you need to use the Android Support package's backport of fragments (where FragmentActivity comes from).

Solution 2:

http://android-er.blogspot.de/2012/12/using-supportmapfragment.html - small example

<RelativeLayoutxmlns: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"tools:context=".MainActivity" ><TextViewandroid:layout_width="wrap_content"android:layout_height="wrap_content"android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"android:layout_centerVertical="true"android:text="@string/hello_world" /><fragmentandroid:id="@+id/map"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="match_parent"class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/></RelativeLayout>

AND:

package de.meinprospekt.android.ui;

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

publicclassMainActivityextendsFragmentActivity {

    @OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

}

Solution 3:

Fragmentfragment= getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
            R.id.map);
    SupportMapFragmentmapFragment= (SupportMapFragment) fragment;
    GoogleMapmMap= mapFragment.getMap();
