Didn't see this in the last month. Please close it.

Thanks - please respond to this bug thread if you see it again.

I've also seen this problem when displaying a map on a SamSung SII.  I had no GPS fix at the time, not sure if that is important.  It happened both when initially displaying a map and then on onResume.

Still seeing this issue (very frequently). I have a very similar stack trace too.

Any updates on this issue?
This is crashing my app also.

Also getting this on my app. Any fix for it?

None as far as I know, I still see the crashes daily.

Well I managed to "fix" this on my app (it's actually just a workaraound). Check my own answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19624437/random-nullpointerexception-on-google-maps-api-v3/19627149#19627149

I also saw this crash in my logs on November 20th. It still exists I guess.

I got the same issue today. Using Samsung Tab P620 , android 4.0.3. But the solution suggested in point #10 works.

In my case, I was loading static fragments that contained maps in a viewpager, some of the fragments not being visible would result in this crash of the maps. I changed the design to not load maps in a fragment that is not visible and the crashes went away.

Has anyone found a solution for this? I too am having this error when showing a MapView inside and Fragment which lives in a ViewPager.

I getting the same error on my SupportMapFragment inside a fragment inside a viewpager:

For those who can reproduce it consistently - can you try disabling the "My Location" layer and see if the error disappears?

The stack traces are very useful - when you post them, could you also include the version of "Google Play services"? (accessible from Settings > Apps)

When I first reported it, I didn't use My Location.

It was just just 3 fragments.

Exactly this code: https://github.com/mg6maciej/android-maps-v2-demo/blob/master/NewMapsDemo/src/pl/mg6/newmaps/demo/MapTypesExampleActivity.java
And this layout: https://github.com/mg6maciej/android-maps-v2-demo/blob/master/NewMapsDemo/res/layout/map_types_example.xml

Might not be the simples example, but maybe can help somehow.

I had this issue when I was adding three fragments in one transaction inside of another fragment's onCreateView method, one of which contained a map.  I split out the addition of the fragment which contains the map into a separate fragment transaction and I'm no longer seeing the issue.  Seems like a lifecycle race condition.

Getting the above now with a range of devices. Getting RuntimeExceptions in my app from Maps issues is pretty frustrating...

I'm also getting very similar  exception in several devices:

Several Galaxy SIII with JB
Xperia Z with KK
Nexus 5 with KK

I could not find certain steps to recreate it. It happens when drawing a track on a map. We are using the maps 4 business.

I am including the map manually inside a GeneralFragment instead of using a SupportMapFragment. Is any valid workaround for this?
