Application crashes when is executed using Google maps api v2

Question

I am trying to basically load a map using Google maps api v2 so i can start working on a more complex application. My problem is that i followed all the instructions in: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/ to setup the new settings for the google map api v2 that uses Google play lib. Everything is set up fine but when i run the application it crashes(myapp stoped working) I am using intellij so the applications was signed through "build|Generate signed apk" and to get my SHA1 code i used the file that is generated when the Generate signed apk is selected. I created a new project in Google console named MapTest to get the api key and placed that in the manifest as specified. Now i know that the emulators usually are missing some staff such as the openGL ES so i installed the app on my phone (Galaxy s2) and the application is still crashing. ps the google play lib was added Emulator is google api 15 and everything is updated to latest versions. Any help or input is deeply appreciated.

Bellow i am including my xml files so you can see if there is anything wrong.

main xml

MyActivity class nothing really change tho included just in case

package com.example.MapTest;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
   /**
    * Called when the activity is first created.
    */
   @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

the log of the emulator

At the moment it is not possible to run Google Android Maps v2 on emulator (see response from Android devs here). You should use real device instead.

However, you can look for updates in this thread - looks like someone managed to create emulator which supports Google Android Maps v2

EDIT: I can see some problem in your code: You should extend android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity, but not regular Activity class.

Also make sure you have added GooglePlayServices project (actually imported entire project) but not just a jar file. If you are using Eclipse, import the library project into your workspace. Click File > Import, select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace, and browse to the copy of the library project to import it.

I finally fixed the problem. Google has a very bad tutorial. First of all thank you Pavel Dudka for the big help. i imported google play lib as module and then google play lib as jar then i also added onother jar file android.suport.v4.jar were is can be found as the name is exmaple android\suppor\v4 After those modifications and with the recomentations the map did not work so i added the modified fragment bellow instead of using the one google provited and the map worked like a charm.

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:id="@+id/map"
   android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Application crashes when is executed using Google maps api v2
