Answer 1

You need to reference the google play services library project in your map project.

Copy the google-play services_lib library project to your workspace (folder where your android map project is). The library project can be found under the following path.

     <android-sdk-folder>/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib library project .

Import the library project to your eclipse

Click File > Import, select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace, and browse the workspace import the library project. You can check if it is library project. Right click on the library project. Goto properties. Click Android on the left panel. You will see Is Library checked.

Right click on your android project. Goto properties. Choose Android on the left panel. Click on Add and browse the library project. Select the same. Click ok and apply

Edit:

Your min sdk is 8 So you should use SupportMapFragment.

<fragment
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:id="@+id/map"  
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Your activity must extend FragmentActivity.

SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment)  getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
GoogleMap mMap = fm.getMap(); 

Also make sure you imported the below

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;  
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;

i think you have comment the code for set layout for this activity, please check once by uncomment below line and check after that.

//setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
