Unfortunately google maps has stopped

Question

I would get google map on my emulator. I followed the instructions on When I run the application an error's message appears:Unfortunately DemoGoogleMapsV2 has stopped.

my androidmanifest.xml:

<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<permission android:name="com.demogooglemapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.demogooglemapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<!-- The following two permissions are not required to use
Google Maps Android API, but are recommended. -->

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

</manifest>

my activity_main.xml:

<android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

my MainActivity.java:

 package com.demogooglemapsv2;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

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

the log error:

Replace FragmentActivity in place of Activity, make sure you are entering right api key.

And in place of com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment use com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment

Make sure google play services is installed on your device. That's why try to run the application on real device not on the emulator.

Add the following activity_main.xml:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/LinearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <fragment  
          android:id="@+id/map"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
          />
</LinearLayout>

add this tag in your menifest file

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

Hope your project and google-play-services_lib both are in same workspace and you have added it as library project in your application. If your API-Key is ok then you need to change like this.

1. add this meta-data inside application tag in manifest

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

2. As minSdkVersion="8" you should use SupportMapFragment so activity_main.xml looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />

</RelativeLayout>

3. Instead of Activity you should extend FragmentActivity and use SupportFragmentManager()

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.main);
      SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
      GoogleMap mMap = fm.getMap(); 
  }
}

Try to run it on real device or Genymotion's emulator after installing google-play-service. Otherwise you will face a crash

Unfortunately google maps has stopped
