Using Supportmapfragment Instead Of Mapfragment

I am using Xamarin and I have modified the Google Maps API 2 sample to use SupportMapFragment objects rather than MapFragment objects. Can I have some help with the InitMapFragment

Solution 1:

SupportFramgentManager is inherited from FragmentActivity so make sure the activity extends FragmentActivity. Then modify your code as follows:

private void InitMapFragment()
{
    _mapFragment = SupportFragmentManager.FindFragmentByTag("map") as SupportMapFragment;
    if (_mapFragment == null)
    {
        GoogleMapOptions mapOptions = new GoogleMapOptions()
            .InvokeMapType(GoogleMap.MapTypeNormal)
            .InvokeZoomControlsEnabled(true)
            .InvokeCompassEnabled(true);

        FragmentTransaction fragTx = SupportFragmentManager.BeginTransaction();
        _mapFragment = SupportMapFragment.NewInstance(mapOptions);
        fragTx.Add(Resource.Id.mapWithOverlay, _mapFragment, "map");
        fragTx.Commit();
    }
}
