private void initializeMap()

   SupportMapFragment map = ((SupportMapFragment)     getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map2)).getMapAsync(this);

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {

}

Answer 1

try to change this line

SupportMapFragment map = ((SupportMapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map2)).getMapAsync(this);

to

SupportMapFragment map = ((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map2)).getMapAsync(this);
