Mapbox does not work in fragments
I’m trying to display the map box in fragment, but I get the following error:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempts to call the virtual method "void com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.MapView.onResume()" on an empty object reference
This is the map fragment class:
public class Map extends android.support.v4.app.Fragment {
private MapView mapView;
public Map() {
Required empty public constructor
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map, container, false);
MapView mapView = (MapView) layout.findViewById(R.id.mapview);
mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
mapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
@Override
public void onMapReady(MapboxMap mapboxMap) {
Set map style
mapboxMap.setStyleUrl(Style.MAPBOX_STREETS);
Set the camera's starting position
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(new LatLng(41.885, -87.679)) // set the camera's center position
.zoom(12) // set the camera's zoom level
.tilt(20) // set the camera's tilt
.build();
Move the camera to that position
mapboxMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
}
});
return layout;
}
@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mapView.onResume();
}
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
mapView.onPause();
}
@Override
public void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {
super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
mapView.onSaveInstanceState(outState);
}
@Override
public void onLowMemory() {
super.onLowMemory();
mapView.onLowMemory();
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
super.onDestroy();
mapView.onDestroy();
}
}
Am I missing something? I’m following this link: https://www.mapbox.com/help/first-steps-android-sdk/
Solution
You have two map View instances. One is a local variable inside the oncreate method, and the other is a global variable.
And the global variable is not initialized, so change this line
MapView mapView = (MapView) layout.findViewById(R.id.mapview);
Enter this
mapView = (MapView) layout.findViewById(R.id.mapview);
I think you understand the question.
