Answer 1

use

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment;
YourActivity extends FragmentActivity 

instead of

import android.app.Fragment;
YourActivity extends Activity 

and Please add the API KEY in your manifest file

<application>
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="youApiKey" 

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

is in the element of AndroidManifest.xml

Answer 2

I think you can not include google-play-services.jar to your project. Because of that, fragment in your layout can not be inflated. Be sure about adding google-play-services.jar to your project. Or add your class

import android.support.v4.app.Fragment; and instead of using

public class MainActivity extends Activity

use public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity
