android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #6: Error inflating class fragemnt

Question

This error occurs when the application starts

I am receiving many errors of kind displayed in the subj. These errors seems to be occasional and I cannot reproduce them. From stack I can learn that such error may occurs for my different layout resources. The line of XML is also varying.

Can anybody explain why this error occurs? And what I can do to fix this problem?

Solution 1

<application>
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="youApiKey" 

        />
    <meta-data 
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
            android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" 
        />
</application>

is in the element of AndroidManifest.xml

Solution 2

use

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
YourActivity extends FragmentActivity 

instead of

import android.app.Fragment;
YourActivity extends Activity 

and Please add the API KEY in your manifest file

Solution 3

you should add this tag in your AndroidManifest file:

<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="your APi key here" />

I faced similar problem. Here I am getting this trace on logcat Unable to instantiate fragment com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment. Where do I define this SupportMapFragment.
