FragmentTransaction.add() : wrong Fragment type

I made a fragment to connect via Facebook, the code of which is here :
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.facebook.AccessToken;
import com.facebook.AccessTokenTracker;
import com.facebook.CallbackManager;
import com.facebook.FacebookCallback;
import com.facebook.FacebookException;
import com.facebook.FacebookSdk;
import com.facebook.Profile;
import com.facebook.ProfileTracker;
import com.facebook.login.LoginResult;
import com.facebook.login.widget.LoginButton;
public class LoginFragment extends Fragment
{
private TextView mTextDetails;
private CallbackManager fbCallbackManager;
private AccessTokenTracker tTracker;
private ProfileTracker pTracker;
private FacebookCallback<LoginResult> fbCallback = new FacebookCallback<LoginResult>()
{
#Override
public void onSuccess(LoginResult loginResult)
{
AccessToken accessToken = loginResult.getAccessToken();
Profile profile = Profile.getCurrentProfile();
}
#Override
public void onCancel()
{
}
#Override
public void onError(FacebookException error)
{
}
};
public LoginFragment()
{
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FacebookSdk.sdkInitialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
fbCallbackManager = CallbackManager.Factory.create();
setupTokenTracker();
setupProfileTracker();
tTracker.startTracking();
pTracker.startTracking();
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
setTextDetails(view);
setupFBLoginButton(view);
}
#Override
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
Profile profile = Profile.getCurrentProfile();
}
#Override
public void onStop()
{
super.onStop();
tTracker.stopTracking();
pTracker.stopTracking();
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
fbCallbackManager.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
private void setupFBLoginButton(View view)
{
LoginButton loginButton = (LoginButton) view.findViewById(R.id.login_button);
loginButton.setReadPermissions("user_friends");
loginButton.setFragment(this);
loginButton.registerCallback(fbCallbackManager, fbCallback);
}
private void setTextDetails(View view)
{
mTextDetails = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.text_details);
}
private void setupTokenTracker()
{
tTracker= new AccessTokenTracker()
{
#Override
protected void onCurrentAccessTokenChanged(AccessToken oldAccessToken, AccessToken newAccessToken)
{
//TODO
}
};
}
private void setupProfileTracker()
{
pTracker = new ProfileTracker()
{
#Override
protected void onCurrentProfileChanged(Profile oldProfile, Profile newProfile)
{
//TODO
}
};
}
}
I am trying to "call" this fragment from my main activity using the following code :
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
private boolean logged = false;
private LoginFragment loginFragment;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
FragmentManager fManager = getFragmentManager();
FragmentTransaction fTransaction = fManager.beginTransaction();
LoginFragment loginFragment = new LoginFragment();
fTransaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, loginFragment, "fragment_container");
fTransaction.commit();
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
Yet, I have an error on the 2nd argument of this line fTransaction.add(R.id.fragment_container, loginFragment, "fragment_container");.
My IDE tells me it's expecting an android.app.Fragment object, and mine is a my.package.LoginFragment.
I don't get it, my LoginFragment extends Fragment...
I also tried to pass everything in android.support.v4.*, but then I can't do loginButton.setFragment(this);, and then I have no idea on how to set the Fragment to the loggin button.

Use getSupportFragmentManager() when working with support fragments instead of getFragmentManager().
Also, adding the fragment should happen after setContentView() so the fragment_container can be found.
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
loginFragment = new LoginFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager()
.beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.fragment_container, loginFragment, "fragment_container")
.commit();
}
After doing this you will have to fix a couple imports too. Make sure you use the following in MainActivity.
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentTransaction;

Get user location: Android

So I have searched the internet for lots of different solutions to get my android phone to show current location through the Google Maps API using play services. I believe I have the right set-up but something is just not right.

Pass data from Activity to SupportMapFragment

I have two fragments and one activity.
DataFragment passes info succesfuly to MainActivity and that's why there is no point providing you the code of it. My issue is , that bundle isn't effective on MyMapFragment which extends SupportMapFragment when I am trying to pass data from MainActivity. Of course I've searched a lot for many days but the only solutions given are for a fragment and not for SupportMapFragment which I think it's different.
MainActivity
package com.manuelpap.mapapp;
import android.app.Fragment;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentPagerAdapter;
import android.support.v4.view.ViewPager;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public String mapLocation="EMPTY";
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
viewPager.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager()));
Intent intent = getIntent();
if (getIntent().getExtras() != null) {
mapLocation = intent.getExtras().getString("mapLocation");
Bundle bundle=new Bundle();
bundle.putString("message", "From Activity");
MyMapFragment fragobj=new MyMapFragment();
fragobj.setArguments(bundle);
Log.d("MAPLOCATION", "----MainActivity---- " + mapLocation);
finish(); //I am using this because on DataFragment it's starting again , so I don't need multiple instances of MainActivity
}
}
public class MyAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{
public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
super(fm);
}
#Override
public android.support.v4.app.Fragment getItem(int i){
if(i==0){
return new DataFragment();
}
else {
return new MyMapFragment();
}
}
#Override
public int getCount(){
return 2; //posa scrolls dexia (pages) theloume
}
#Override
public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
if(position==0){
return "DATA";
}
else {
return "MAP";
}
}
}
}
MyMapFragment
package com.manuelpap.mapapp;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

location = "------NOTHING RECIEVED------";
else
location =getArguments().getString("message");
Log.d("MAPFRAGMENTLOCATION", location);
handler.postDelayed(this, 200); // set time here to refresh textView
}
});
GoogleMap googleMap = getMap();
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(new LatLng(40.416775, -3.70379));
googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
}
}

It looks like you are finishing your main activity
//I am using this because on DataFragment it's starting again , so I don't need multiple instances of MainActivity
Your DataFragment is in the viewpager so it is supposed to start along with your map fragment. You are not starting multiple instances of main activity that I can see here.
When you call finish() on your main activity that means that the map and pager and everything goes away. Not sure what exactly your looking for but I assume you are trying to pass the location string to the map so I have tailored my answer to fit that use case.
The problem is that you are using new MyMapFragment() without the bundle in the view pager. The other logic that you have in MainActivity pertaining to the Map fragment is not going anything to the one that is displayed with the view pager. Essentially you are just creating another instance of the map fragment that is not displayed anywhere. The view pager is the class that needs the data passed to it.
I thought this link might be helpful here to explain the newInstance Method.
Creating a Fragment: constructor vs newInstance()
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
if (getIntent().getExtras() != null) {
mapLocation = intent.getExtras().getString("mapLocation");
}
viewPager.setAdapter(new MyAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager(), mapLocation));
}
public class MyAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter{
private String mMapLocation;
public MyAdapter(FragmentManager fm, String mapLocation) {
super(fm);
mMapLoaction = mapLocation;
}
#Override
public android.support.v4.app.Fragment getItem(int i){
if(i==0){
return new DataFragment();
}
else {
Bundle bndl = new Bundle();
if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(mapLocation))
bndl.putString("message", mapLocation);
return new MyMapFragment.newInstance(bndl);
}
}
public class MyMapFragment extends SupportMapFragment { //kanei extend thn hdh uparxousa class gia to maps ths google alla den mpoorume na thn doume giati einai kleidomenh
public String location="EMPTY";
public static MyMapFragment newInstance(Bundle bundle) {
MyMapFragment myMapFragment= new MyMapFragment ();
if (bundle != null) {
myMapFragment.setArguments(bundle);
}
return myMapFragment;
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
if(getArguments()!=null)
location =getArguments().getString("message");
}

Not able to get current location in Google Map fragment

I am trying to get current location in map fragment but the crashes with an error in line googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
I used Location and Latlang to detect current location.
mapFragment.java
public class mapFragment extends Fragment {
MapView mMapView;

false);
mMapView = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.mapView);
mMapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mMapView.onResume();// needed to get the map to display immediately
try {
MapsInitializer.initialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
googleMap = mMapView.getMap();
// latitude and longitude
LatLng lat = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
/*double latitude = 17.385044;
double longitude = 78.486671;*/
// create marker
MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions().position(
lat).title("Hello Maps");
// Changing marker icon
marker.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ROSE));
// adding marker
googleMap.addMarker(marker);
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(lat).zoom(12).build();
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory

Looks like you have a few issues, but the crash is happening because you need to call getMap() before you call setMyLocationEnabled().
Change this:
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
googleMap = mMapView.getMap();
...to this:
googleMap = mMapView.getMap();
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
Updated: I was able to get this code working.
Getting the current location should be done with the Fused Location Provider API, but that is beyond the scope of this question.
The method in this sample code might work on older devices, but on 4.4.4 it's returning a null location due to getMyLocation() being depricated.
However, with the null check in place the map displays correctly, and you can click on the location button to have the map move to your current location.
MapView mMapView;
private GoogleMap googleMap;
Location location;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// inflat and return the layout
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container,
false);
mMapView = (MapView) v.findViewById(R.id.mapView);
mMapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mMapView.onResume();// needed to get the map to display immediately
try {
MapsInitializer.initialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
googleMap = mMapView.getMap();
googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
location = googleMap.getMyLocation();
if (location != null) {
// latitude and longitude
LatLng lat = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
//double latitude = 17.385044;
//double longitude = 78.486671;
//LatLng lat = new LatLng(latitude,longitude);
// create marker
MarkerOptions marker = new MarkerOptions().position(
lat).title("Hello Maps");
// Changing marker icon
marker.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ROSE));
// adding marker
googleMap.addMarker(marker);
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(lat).zoom(12).build();
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
}
// Perform any camera updates here
return v;
}

You can use the setOnMyLocationChangeListener method to get the current location. Download the source here(Show Google Map In Android)

Can't get Location Manager to work inside Fragment

I've been trying to get a Location Manager to work for a few hours now inside my Fragment.
I found a StackOverflow question about a similar problem, and tried to implement the solution.
The answer is located here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18533440/3035598
So i almost literally copied everything the answer said, but it is not working for me.
When the map opens I get the error "Google Play Services Missing". This is caused by a NullPointerException as you can read in the answer.
I have no idea why it is not working, since I did everything he said.
Does anyone know what's going wrong?
If I have to provide my code, let me know and I will do that, but it is almost the same as in the link I provided.
EDIT:
The Code I use:
package com.example.bt6_aedapp;
import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.InflateException;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesClient;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationClient;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener;
import com.google.android.gms.location.LocationRequest;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdate;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapsInitializer;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
public class fragmentB extends Fragment implements GooglePlayServicesClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GooglePlayServicesClient.OnConnectionFailedListener,
LocationListener {
private GoogleMap map;
private LatLng latlng;
private LocationRequest lr;
private LocationClient lc;
MapFragment mapFragment;
ImageView iv;
private static View view;
#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_b, container, false);
mapFragment = ((MapFragment) this.getActivity().getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
iv = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.iv);
map = mapFragment.getMap();
map.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false);
map.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
map.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(false);
MapsInitializer.initialize(this.getActivity());
}
catch (InflateException e) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Problems inflating the view !", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
catch (NullPointerException e) {
Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Google Play Services missing !", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
return view;
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
lr = LocationRequest.create();
lr.setPriority(LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY);
lc = new LocationClient(this.getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
this, this);
lc.connect();
}
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
latlng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latlng, 10);
map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
}
#Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult arg0) {
}
#Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
lc.requestLocationUpdates(lr, this);
}
#Override
public void onDisconnected() {
}
}
The error I'm getting now is located at row 115:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.example.bt6_aedapp.fragmentB.onLocationChanged(fragmentB.java:155)
I checked the location.getLatitude() and location.getLongitude() and both of them are NOT empty, they return a correct value.

Alright, so after a lot of debugging and research, I've found the solution.
All I had to do was replace
`mapFragment = ((MapFragment) this.getActivity().getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));`
with:
mapFragment = ((SupportMapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
