FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: org.example.easyparking, PID: 6371 java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{org.example.easyparking/org.example.easyparking.MapActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #0: Binary XML file line #0: Error inflating class fragment

This is my mapactivity

    package org.example.easyparking;
    import android.app.Dialog;
    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.widget.Toast;

    import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
    import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
    import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;

    public class MapActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements 
    OnMapReadyCallback {

    GoogleMap mGoogleMap;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
    if(googleServicesAvailable()){

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
        initMap();
    }else{
        //No Google Map Layout
    }
}

private void initMap() {
    MapFragment mapFragment = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager().
            findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}

public boolean googleServicesAvailable(){
    GoogleApiAvailability api = GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance();
    int isAvailable = api.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
    if(isAvailable == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){
        return true;
    }else if (api.isUserResolvableError(isAvailable)){
        Dialog dialog = api.getErrorDialog(this, isAvailable, 0);
        dialog.show();
    }else{
        Toast.makeText(this, "Can't connect", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                .show();
    }
    return false;
}

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mGoogleMap = googleMap;
}
}

This is menifest

            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),

            Intent newacti = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, MapActivity.class);
            startActivity(newacti);
        }
    });

    Button button_parking_owner = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.button2);
    button_parking_owner.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            startActivity(newacti);
        }
    });
}
}

problem is in activity_map.xml of your map activity. please check line number 0 of activity_map.xml — yashkal, Nov 15 '17 at 08:19

Your `MapActivity` since it uses `fragments` should extend the `FragmentActivity` class — pleft, Nov 15 '17 at 08:22
I assume `googleServicesAvailable()` is returning false which is making the `else` statement to be executed which is empty at the moment — Esir Kings, Nov 15 '17 at 08:23

In your MapActivity you are checking if googleServicesAvailable() is available and if not you are not providing a default content to render

if(googleServicesAvailable()){

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
        initMap();
    }else{
        //No Google Map Layout
    }

try creating a basic layout to render that says something like No Google Map i.e you should have something like

if(googleServicesAvailable()){

        setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
        initMap();
    }else{
        //No Google Map Layout
        setContentView(R.layout.no_activity_map);
    }

then create a no_activity_map layout
