Are you inflating the xml file inside acitivity or fragment? — Biraj Zalavadia, May 10 '14 at 11:37
Mapv2 will not work on Emulator so you need to test in real device — Biraj Zalavadia, May 10 '14 at 11:38
The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4323000 but found 0. — sakir, May 10 '14 at 11:40
i think you have to look at this Tutorial http://www.androidhive.info/2013/08/android-working-with-google-maps-v2/ and don't miss to add this code in AndroidManifest.xml bcz it is not added in given Tutorial. — Haresh Chhelana, May 10 '14 at 11:45

Part of the stack trace is this message:

The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4323000 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" />

Have you configured this in AndroidManifest.xml?

Add the following,

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

in your manifest file immediately below the first meta-data tag(where you have placed your google api key)

I have found a super solution for this issue due to Duplicate ID, tag null, or parent id with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment: I believe this title describes your problem in another way, basically you cannot add another fragment to an already existing Fragment

Just change the the OnCreateView of the fragment:

private static View view;

public override View OnCreateView (LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{

    if (view != null)
    {
        ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup)view.Parent;
        if(parent != null)
        {
            parent.RemoveView (view);
        }
    }

    try
    {
        if (layoutId == null || layoutId == 0)
            layoutId = UI.Resource.Layout.FrgChart;
        view = inflater.Inflate (layoutId,container,false);
    }
    catch(InflateException e)
    {

    }
    return view;

}

And it works fine. smiley lol
