Android Runtime Error using google maps

Question

I am working on making an android app that uses the google maps API. I keep getting these errors and have no idea how to fix this. My lab partner is running the same code that I am running and his runs but mine gives me these errors. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you! Here are the errors that I get:

Answer 1

您必须将其添加到清单文件中的application标记中：

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

Answer 2

I think you need to add your api key in Android Manifest File:

<meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
             android:value="YOUR MAP API KEY HERE"/>

Answer 3

Import the gms library from the sdk tools so that you have used the latest version of the google maps service

Dont forget to the intiate the gms service at the application in the manifest file

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