Android, java.lang.IllegalStateException

Question

I am receiving an exception mentioning to add meta-data but even after adding it I still receieve the same exception. Could you please help me how I can repel it?

01-08 20:22:05.380: E/AndroidRuntime(2335): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: 
The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value.      
Expected 4030500 but found 0.  You must have the following declaration within the 
<application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"   
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

As it was wanted here you could see my AndroidManifest is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.googlemapv2"
android:versionCode="1"

            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

            <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" 
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>

 </manifest>

Clean the project, delete the app from your phone and try again — Eddy K, Jan 09 '14 at 01:34

try putting this instead.

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="4030500" />

If that doesn't work, take a look at this. Maybe you have an older version of GMS or it's not being linked correctly to your project.

Adding Google Play services version to your app's manifest?
