Google Maps API V2 crash - FATAL EXCEPTION

Question

I've tried a tutorial to implement a Google Maps in my application. http://www.androidhive.info/2013/08/android-working-with-google-maps-v2/

I would try the example, but it is crashing at this level : setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

I correctly follow the tuto, and normally there is no API Key problem.

EDIT : Here is all my solved code - Errors are shown in comment

My problem was solved thanks to @Piyush Gupta, @fasteque, @WarrenFaith, @Sankar V and @ViragBrahme.

Answer 1

You're missing a new mandatory meta-tag in your manifest file, it's written in the logcat.

Add the following line in your manifest file, in the application section:

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

Also, there's another issue in your manifest, you have copied the meta-tag com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY in your activity, while it shall be set in the application section as well.

Answer 2

用FragmentActivity而不是Activity扩展您的类

Answer 3

Put meta-data out of activity and try

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.essaimap"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

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

    <uses-permission android:name="com.example.essaimap.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="11"
        android:targetSdkVersion="16" />

    <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" />

    <!-- Required to show current location -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

    <!-- Required OpenGL ES 2.0. for Maps V2 -->
    <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="com.example.essaimap.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="AIzaSyDWCZGT4n2HLZ5bUCM6WRvbh6BnHSAipgg" />


    </application>
</manifest>

Answer 4

映射键元数据需要位于application标记内，而您试图将其放在activity标记内。
