android google maps api v2 not working

Question

This is my code for my project , but when I run it, it close immediately

This is my MainActivity class package com.example.freearmymaps;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil;
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 MainActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

This is activity_main

    <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@+id/map"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>
</RelativeLayout>

This is the AndroidManifest

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"

        android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
      <!--   <activity android:name="com.example.freearmymaps.library.googleplayserviceslib" /> -->
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.freearmymaps.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="AIzaSyDWPLxsxJb-hzckZf50czZ8pnuub3a-Hjo"/>
    </application>


</manifest>

Please can anyone tell me where is the problem and how can I solve it?

Answer 1

Your min sdk is 8.

If you are targeting API 12 and above use MapFragment . Otherwise, use SupportMapFragment .

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

Your activity must extend FragmentActivity

SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment)  getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
GoogleMap mMap = fm.getMap(); 

Make sure you have added support library

Also make sure you imported the below

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;  
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
