I began in Android development and went to Google Maps with sample code from here https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/intro#sample_code. I followed all the steps in this site with no change from my side, and when I run I see this message on the emulator: Unfortunately Google Maps API has stopped.
Here is my Manifest

I am using the emulator with API 17 Platform 4.2.2 Target Google APIs and device 5.1 "WVGA (480 * 800: mdpi).
How can I solve this problem?
Also, I was thinking to buy device Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 S6500 to run on it my applications instead of emulators. Would this device be suitable or not?
It has 512 MB RAM and Android OS, v2.3.6 (Gingerbread), planned upgrade to v4.1.
