  • I'd try to restart the phone and retry the update one last time, I for one do not know of a workaround for running it properly without updating. http://android.stackexchange.com/ may be a helpful place if you can't get it to update. – Joachim Isaksson Jan 16 '13 at 11:50

If you use "android:minSdkVersion="8"",

1.in your layout_man.xml, you must modify tag as follows;

  (X) class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" 
  (o) class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

2.For more perfect information, see this link below, which is useful to you;

There are 2 thing to do:

  • fix your layout

class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"

to

class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

This worked for me. If you are using the current version of android studio by IntelliJ, in the build.gradle file replace this line 

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

with :

      compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.4.52'

and you should be good to go.

This question might be old but hope it helps someone who might be struggling with this.
