Error inflating class fragment for maps, attaching my code

Question

My layout for maps

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@+id/map"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

My Maps java

import com.google.android.gms.maps.*;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.*;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

    private GoogleMap map;

have you referenced google play services in your android project? Do you use `MapFragment` anywhere? — Raghunandan, Apr 01 '14 at 05:23

Its seems like you not add google-play-service library properly. You have to import google-play-service library project from your sdk path. and use this library in your project.

For step by step guidelines, refer this post Google Map v2

you need to download Google Play Services from the Android SDK Manager is under Extras if you are using eclipse you need to import the project and added as dependence of your the project is [sdk_folder]/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib and you are done.

Here is the official documentation please visit: http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
