ClassNotFoundException: com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment and SupportMapFragment using Google Map API v2

Question

I want to show Map in my application and tried it using Google Map API v2. But I am facing a problem ClassNotFoundException: com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment at runtime. Bellow is the code.

1. Activity Class:

   public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity { MapFragment mapFragment; SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); } }

   2. XML layout

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

   3. manifest file

    <uses-sdk
       android:maxSdkVersion="19"
       android:minSdkVersion="8"
       android:targetSdkVersion="19" />
   
   <uses-feature
       android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
       android:required="true" />
   
   <permission
       android:name="com.xerces.mapsample.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
       android:protectionLevel="signature" />
   
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
   <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.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
   <uses-permission android:name="com.xerces.mapsample.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
   
   <application
       android:allowBackup="true"
       android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
       android:label="@string/app_name"
       android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
       <activity
           android:name=".MainActivity"
           android:label="@string/app_name" >
           <intent-filter>
               <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
   
               <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
           </intent-filter>
       </activity>
   
       <meta-data
           android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
           android:value="MAP API KEY" />
   </application>
