android - MapView fix not compling -

i following error mapview: "cameraupdatefactory not initialized"

many posts out there suggest adding: mapsinitializer.initialize(this); ide telling me: "googleplayservicesnotavailableexception never thrown"

my code below:

xml:

<com.google.android.gms.maps.mapview     android:id="@+id/mapview"     android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> 

and code run it:

    mapview = (mapview) header.findviewbyid(r.id.mapview);     map = mapview.getmap();      try {         mapsinitializer.initialize(this);     } catch (googleplayservicesnotavailableexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     }      // updates location , zoom of mapview     cameraupdate cameraupdate = cameraupdatefactory.newlatlngzoom(new latlng(43.1, -87.9), 10);     map.animatecamera(cameraupdate); 

first off, getting compiler warning because mapsinitializer.initialize(this); not throw googleplayservicesnotavailableexception. surrounding try/catch, introducing unreachable code in catch.

now reason need call oncreate , onresume there lifecycle events logic google needs perform in order mapview function properly. if using mapfragment taken care of in background. ideally, put these method calls in respective activity/fragment methods. call mapview.oncreate() in oncreate method, mapview.onresume() in onresume, etc. should add calls onpause , ondestroy well.

hope clears things you. feel free follow questions this.
