googlemap class in googlemapv2

Question

i am currently working with googlemap v2. the problem is that i can't use the class "googlemap" it shows an error. i am using google api 4.2. how can i use this class. xml file code is given below

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

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

 </RelativeLayout>

Which error? Did you add the Google Play Services library to your project? — fasteque, Mar 04 '14 at 16:40
@user1057197 i don't think you are. Hence the error. `import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;` — Raghunandan, Mar 04 '14 at 16:46
@user1057197 and post the code that has error ie Activity class — Raghunandan, Mar 04 '14 at 16:50

If you use

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

Then you have to use the SupportMapFragment class in your activities. Example:

SupportMapFragment mapa;
mapa = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);

Hope it helps

Because the error would pop if he tries to cast the class in the activity (as he says it happens in the activity). It happened to me last week. It may not be the reason but i cant post comments on other people's posts =/ – FrankenBel Mar 04 '14 at 16:51
You're right, he says he can't use the class especifically, not get the fragment. I missread. Sorry... – FrankenBel Mar 04 '14 at 16:58

You need to reference GooglePlay services in your android project and import

import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/GoogleMap

You can follow

Importing google-play-service library showing a red X next to this reference android
