Unfortunately, (App Name) has stopped. eclipse to show maps

Question

from showing every time I run my Test Application in my AVD. I'm trying to show a maps and Eclipse shows no mistakes. So how can I fix this and how can I find out what the problem is if Eclipse shows no problems?

(Here's a copy of my MainActivity)

    package com.example.test;

import android.app.Activity;  
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity; 
import android.os.Bundle;


public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    @Override  
    protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {  
         // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
         super.onCreate(arg0);  
         setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
    }  
}

(Here's a copy of my 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  
     android:id="@+id/fragment1"  
     android:layout_width="match_parent"  
     android:layout_height="match_parent"  
     class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />    

</RelativeLayout>

(Here's a copy of my TestManifest)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    package="com.example.test"

You are missing <meta-data> tag in your Android_Manifest.xml

So please add this along with

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

Also replace

<meta-data  
       android:name="com.example.test..API_KEY"  
       android:value="AIzaSyBQ1sjxD09jxrSff68ZP77JpLQxm9LB8Hs" />

as

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="AIzaSyBQ1sjxD09jxrSff68ZP77JpLQxm9LB8Hs" />

You dont need

<uses-library  
   android:name="com.google.android.maps"  
   android:required="true" />

as you are using Google Maps v2

Kindly add this in manifest @user3657268 – Lal May 20 '14 at 15:43 — Lal, May 20 '14 at 15:43

Looking at the code you are missing

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

You are missing

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Also change this

<meta-data  
 android:name="com.example.test..API_KEY"  
 android:value="AIzaSyBQ1sjxD09jxrSff68ZP77JpLQxm9LB8Hs" />

to

<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value=" AIzaSyBQ1sjxD09jxrSff68ZP77JpLQxm9LB8Hs"/>

You don't need

<uses-library  
   android:name="com.google.android.maps"  
   android:required="true" />

and

 <uses-permission android:name="com.djandroid.mapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

Also

I run my Test Application in my AVD.

Note : Google maps require google play services installed. You need Google api platform 4.4.2 and above to test.

Its better to test it on a real device.

PERMISSIONS

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />


<permission android:name="com.example.test.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.test.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

Inside your Application tag, next to API KEY put

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