mapview casting exception bug?

Issue

I have added a mapview to my xml layout with a node like so: contained inside a frame

<fragment 
          android:id="@+id/map"
          android:layout_width="100dip"
          android:layout_height="100dip"
          android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

In my activity i have referenced it in the onCreate like so:

 map = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.map);

with map defined in globally as MapView map;

my whole layout looks like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center_vertical" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/arFrame"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
    </FrameLayout>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textViewLocation"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="20dp"
        android:text="no signal"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />

    <fragment 

          android:id="@+id/map"
          android:layout_width="100dip"
          android:layout_height="100dip"
          android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment">
          </fragment>

    <com.KingNozzle.Views.KNMultiDirectionalSlidingDrawer
        xmlns:my="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.KingNozzle"
        android:id="@+id/drawer"
        my:direction="topToBottom"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        my:handle="@+id/handle"
        my:content="@+id/content">

       <include
           android:id="@id/content"
           android:layout_width="fill_parent"
           android:layout_height="fill_parent"
           layout="@layout/empty_rel" />



        <ImageView
            android:id="@id/handle"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="40px"
            android:src="@drawable/sliding_drawer_handle_bottom" />
    </com.KingNozzle.Views.KNMultiDirectionalSlidingDrawer>

</RelativeLayout>

cant seem to find out why it thinks its a frame view

Solution

in you xml change MapFragment to SupportMapFragment

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

In your code

GoogleMap mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
