Google Maps .getMap() deprecated

Question

I am using Google Maps on my Android App. Before a gradle the new version of Google Play Services it works with the following code to get the Fragment:

GoogleMap googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

Since I updated to version 9.2.1, the .getMap() is red (deprecated). Is there a new practise to declare the fragment?

Thank you for every response?

You should replace getMap() with getMapAsync().

As per the official doc, get map async requires a callback and this is where yo do main google maps stuff. Have a look on the below snippet.

 public class MapPane extends Activity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

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

    MapFragment mapFragment = (MapFragment) getFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
//DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH GOOGLEMAP
 map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
        map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        map.setTrafficEnabled(true);
        map.setIndoorEnabled(true);
        map.setBuildingsEnabled(true);
        map.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
    }
}

Hope this helps you.
