actionbarsherlock sherlockfragment google maps v2 is null - actionbarsherlock

Question

I'm trying to use Actionbarsherlock with a tab bar and in one of those taps i want a map.
I have successfully created an map in a sherlockfragment with google map v2, but I want add markers programmatically to the map.
public class Map_fragment extends SherlockFragment {
static final LatLng Cph = new LatLng(55.702355,12.436523);
private final static String MAP_TAG = "map";
private GoogleMap mMap;
SupportMapFragment mMapFragment;
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState){
SupportMapFragment map = (SupportMapFragment) (getSherlockActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(MAP_TAG));
if(map==null){
Log.d("MAP", "NULL");
}
if(map!=null){
Log.d("MAP", " " + map);
Log.d("GETMAP", " " + map.getMap());
}
//GoogleMap mMap = map.getMap();
//mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(Cph, 14));
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.mapv2_layout, container, false);
}
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onAttach(activity);
}
public void setupMap(){
Log.d("SUCCESS" , "SUCCESS");
}
}
I have tried with many different suggestions from other sites and posts on stack overflow, but the map is always null.
I have tried with onCreate and onAttach after suggestions from others, but with no luck.
I have tried for a long time and Im about to pull my hair out :(

I solved it by manually adding the SherlockMapFragment class to the ActionBarSherlock library, found here http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/src/com/actionbarsherlock/app/SherlockMapFragment.java?spec=svn.tables.35872cc920b5668de433c6fc81efc86c4970bac1&repo=tables&r=0c1b0212e5b8bb5af8ce2b8e9357cd30e3870084
Then with the following lines i finally got "gMap" that wasn't null
SupportMapFragment map;
map = (SupportMapFragment) (getSherlockActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
gMap = map.getMap();
