Another Google maps v2 Failed to inflate PLEASE

Question

i know there was a bunch of posts about this but i just can't get my google maps to work. I have tried million different ways to get this and i found that the best way is like this:

MainActivity.java

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
    return true;
}

}

activity_main.xml

<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
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/map"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
     android:name="in.wptrafficanalyzer.locationgooglemapv2demo.MainActivity"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Your logcat clearly said

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: 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 element:

You need to add Google play services version using <meta-data> tag under <application> tag in your manifest.xml file

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