Error inflating class fragment, android map v2

Question

This question have been asked many more times, and i have tried almost all the solutions given there but nothing worked in my case. This is my xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
/>

this is my java code

public class Storesearch extends FragmentActivity{
  private GoogleMap map; 
  private LocationManager locationManager;
  private Location mylocation;
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_storesearch);
    determineLocation();
  }

  protected void onStart() {
       super.onStart();
       setupMap();
       appMapSettings();
       spotCurrentLocation(mylocation);
  }

  public void setupMap(){
   if(map==null){
     SupportMapFragment mf=(SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);   
      map=mf.getMap();

   }

  }

This is my manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.fyp.searchstore"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <permission
        android:name="com.fyp.searchstore.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />

    <uses-permission android:name="com.fyp.searchstore.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />


    <meta-data

android:value="API KEY"/>

     <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
            android:value="19" />

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="11"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

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

<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".Storesearch"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

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

    </manifest>

and finally my logcat report

its giving me error on second line of xml file. i m using revision20 of google play services while my android API is version 19. Does the problem i m having is due to these versions? Thanks in advance

Try with this line of code: android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" instead of "class" attribute. — Pratik Dasa, Oct 17 '14 at 09:07
im tesing it on emulator of target Google APIs - API evel 19 — shifa fatima, Oct 17 '14 at 09:33
I think it will not work with emulator, please test once on real device and check if its working or not? — Pratik Dasa, Oct 17 '14 at 09:34
Even i have tested it on a real device but still its not working :( any other solution? — shifa fatima, Oct 17 '14 at 09:38
Why you have not given meta-data tag in your menifest file?? Or if you can send me your code then let me solve it and will send back to you, if u dnt mind. — Pratik Dasa, Oct 17 '14 at 09:39

Look like this guy had the same problem than you: Stackoverflow
Look to the second answer. Did you copy the .jar file or did you add it as a referenced library ?

And had you download the Android Support Library ?

hello are you trying to check it on android emulator? if yes than please use google-api emulator which will have support library in it. try to check in real android device and if its still giving you same error than add google play services in your project also.
