did you make a new project at https://code.google.com/apis/console/ , added the api access and got the right key (android, not browser)? I copied your code, made a new project on https://code.google.com/apis/console/ and added google maps android api v2 (watch out, there's another google maps api v2 that's not for android), I used my api key and it works fine... — dumazy, Dec 23 '12 at 11:16
i tried but still it showing same error...will it run in emulator? — Saranya Rajendran, Dec 24 '12 at 03:46
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13719263/unable-instantiate-android-gms-maps-mapfragment here it get's the same error, try making a project in your Eclipse (if that's your IDE) by importing the google-play-services. And then go to preferences in your project, Android, and add that google-play-services-project as library — dumazy, Dec 24 '12 at 11:40

Try clean build both the Library Project and Normal projects First. Is not worked check the following :

i included google-play-services jar library file

You don't have to include the jar. You have to import as android library project.

Import the library project in your workspace
Add it to your project as library
Then build the app

Reason: The library project has some xml resources. So the project cannot be imported as jar.

enter image description here

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.R$styleable

As log says styleable cannot be referenced as you haven't built resources.

The R file is a generated one.

From jar u cannot get reference to

Drawables (images)
xml resources [Styles, Strings etc.]

If you are using Android 2.3.3 you need to use SupportMapFragment instead of MapFragment and FragmentActivity instead of Activity.

In the onCreate of your activity you can add the SupportMapFragment...

    SupportMapFragment fragment = new SupportMapFragment();
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .add(android.R.id.content, fragment).commit();

You need to make sure you are adding the Google Play jar AND [src as part of your project](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13719263/unable-instantiate-android-gms-maps-mapfragment). – Aaron McIver Dec 30 '12 at 17:29
