I am trying to build an app with Navigation bar and Google Map API in it.
I followed both of these:
http://www.androidhive.info/2015/04/android-getting-started-with-material-design/
http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/beginners-guide-location-android
tutorial and when I put the map tutorial into one of the fragment inside the navigation bar I'm getting these error:
myGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
The error is in the "this" inside the Builder.
This is my complete class code:

I believe I added the necessary imports, but I can't seem to fix it.
I'm new to Android Development, so I'm not really quite sure what seems to be the problem.
EDIT: The app runs but force closed whenever I go to this fragment.
Seems like there's an error about null object reference.
Here's my logcat:

I've believe it was something about .getMap on the fragment, but I'm not sure. Also I've tried putting it in the OnCreateView, but I still have the same error.
Any help is very much appreciated.
The GoogleApiClient.Builder constructor takes a Context such as an Activity, Service, etc, but you are passing this which in this case is a Fragment (which doesn't extend Context).
Instead, you pass in getActivity(), which returns the Activity the fragment is currently attached to:
myGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getActivity())
.addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.addApi(LocationServices.API)
.build();
