Google map API v2. android

Question

I'm trying to develop an android app where it shows my current location on google map , but I'm having difficulties on showing the map on emulator. I've been working with this since yesterday and I tried looking for solution by browsing similar thread but I can't figure out what's wrong with my code.

here is my logcat:

Use google api 19 version emulator while creating the AVD in your Eclipse IDE.

Maps is available in google api emulator only. If the problem persist again, update the SDK of your emulator to latest build and try again.

In your manifest : meta-data must be outside application block and you have to add :

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