java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value.  Expected 4452000 but found 6587000.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

its my androidmanifest

        android:value="AIzaSyDG5xQBueWTP8GrXQbaRmnJdVZO73KwRAQ" />
    <activity android:name="MainActivity2"></activity>
</application>

</manifest>

im sure the API KEY is correct, and i have added

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

and the library of the google-play-service-lib is 22 i'm confuse, can someone tell me why i still get that error?

You need to also include the google play services version that your app is referencing. So just add a reference to the integer where this is stored below your API_KEY meta-data.

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="AIzaSyDG5xQBueWTP8GrXQbaRmnJdVZO73KwRAQ" />
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Just you need is to add the gms version information in manifest :

   <activity>
     <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="AIzaSyDG5xQBueWTP8GrXQbaRmnJdVZO73KwRAQ" />
   <activity android:name="MainActivity2"></activity>

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

If you do not add android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" in meta data then the wrong value is fetched and error comes :

The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4452000 but found 6587000

Try passing the values <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="6587000" /> but this may cause error in some api's

We should avoid adding constant value : android:value="6587000" – Kushal Mar 12 '15 at 06:29
Yes that is correct, you can try importing the project into your workspace (Dont forget to copy to workspace) and add the the poject as a library in your project. – Vishnu Mar 12 '15 at 09:19
You are correct but my point is that instead of : you should use : May be specifying 6587000 as value may solve your error but it is not correct way to do – Kushal Mar 12 '15 at 10:14
