What is wrong with my Map Activity based simple Android app?

Question

I'm new to android development but am still learning and have created a few apps of simple activities. But this app which needs me to have a google map service activity can't be executed by me. Please review the codes and explain any error. I'd be very thankful to you.

Here's the Manifest code

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.googlemaps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="12"
    android:targetSdkVersion="18" />

<permission
  android:name="com.example.googlemaps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
  android:protectionLevel="signature" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<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="in.csbuddy.aaas.Aaas"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
    <meta-data
     android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
     android:value="AIzaSyAJJlKWPyQmwjfua1HV0fVHVkbN4Ny_iaw" />
</application>

And the java code

package in.csbuddy.aaas;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

public class Aaas extends Activity {
  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.layout_aaas);
    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);
  }

  @Override
  public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.aaas, menu);
    return true;
  }

}

and the layout file is as follows:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

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

</RelativeLayout>

Everytime I try to run, the app won't open and show the "Unfortunately.." error. Please help me.

If your app is crashing then please post the logcat as well. Otherwise, mention the complete error. — Saumik Bhattacharya, Apr 10 '16 at 18:42

You need to add the following in your manifest file.

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

Also in your build.gradle for app, you need to add the following dependencies.

dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'
}

Also you can refer to this post for additional help!

Hope this solves the issue.

I am using Eclipse adt. Not sure about your build.gradle part. – addy Apr 10 '16 at 19:13
I use Android Studio for building android apps, so not sure about Eclipse ADT configuration. However, you can refer [this post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20355971/how-do-i-add-a-new-library-to-android-dependencies-using-eclipse-adt) to add dependencies using Eclipse ADT. – Saumik Bhattacharya Apr 10 '16 at 19:17
