I am getting this error "Unfortunately, My Map has stopped" on my phone whenever I try to run this application ("My Map" is the name of the application ).
my google_services is version 17
does anyone know how can I fix this?
**solution:**after 2 frustrating days I found the solution for the problem:
so it's not enough to add this to the manifest file as a son of the application tag:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="@string/app_key"/> //app_key is the value of my api key
you should also have the integer initialized to 4452000 and not 4132500 as I someone said in another post. (this can be added to the string folder)
<integer name="google_play_services_version">4452000</integer>

if(servicesOK()){
Toast.makeText(this, "Ready to map!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
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.main, menu);
return true;
}
//this method checking whether the google play kit services are installed in the device of the user and
//letting the user know his current status.
public boolean servicesOK() {
int isAvailable = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
//IF I get a value of success that's mean googlePlay services is installed
//and we can display a map
if (isAvailable == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
return true;
}
else if (GooglePlayServicesUtil.isUserRecoverableError(isAvailable)) {
Dialog dialog = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(isAvailable, this, GPS_ERRORDIALOG_REQUEST);
dialog.show();
}
else {
//error which is not recoverd by the user . we simply show the user an error message
Toast.makeText(this, "Can't connect to Google Play services", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return false;
}
}
