I have been stuck over a day to use the Google Play Service. This is a very bad procedure created by Google. Why it is that difficult??
I want to use Google Play Service in order to develop some apps which depends on the Map. I have been tried everything step by step, discussed on many sites but still unable to get it. I thought only the StackOverflow can help in this situation. I can't give the link of all the reference websites but i am giving some of them-

Setup Google Play Games Services
I am using Eclipse ADT Bundle. Google Play Service has a mark with a tick in Android SDK which indicates that it is installed. It is also foud in the proper directory. I am providing the snapshot of my project-
The above snoapshot shows the activity_main.xml, Errors while Launching the application and Project Tree Structure. It also shows that google_play_service_lib has been imported.
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
static final LatLng HAMBURG = new LatLng(53.558, 9.927);
static final LatLng KIEL = new LatLng(53.551, 9.993);
private GoogleMap map;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
Marker hamburg = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(HAMBURG)
.title("Hamburg"));
Marker kiel = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(KIEL)
.title("Kiel")
.snippet("Kiel is cool")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher)));
// Move the camera instantly to hamburg with a zoom of 15.
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(HAMBURG, 15));
// Zoom in, animating the camera.
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null);
}
The Project is not contain any error. I've also added the code into the proguard-project.txt and the android-manifest.xml is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="AIzaSyAQXXXXXXXXXXXXXXpADfMsO4fF0eEXdRE" />
</application>
Also I've been generated the API Key from the console.Graphical layout of activity-main is also has an warning.
Please Help me out by your valuable advise. Thanking you.
EDIT:
In the official set up guide, they didn't mention that jar file should be added to the library.. I did that because I found it in many websites.. is It correct??.. The fragment tag is not detected by the activity_main.xml.. is there any problem with that??
Yes, I was right about the jar file. It should not be added. It was creating some kind of conflict. But I still have errors
