ti.map android v2 appcelerator map error

Question

i cannot for the life of me get a map to work on my android device - can anyone decode this log trace ?

win 7 - studio build 4.1.1 - sdk 4.1.0.GA - ti.map 2.3.1 - android tools 20.0.1 - (i have tried varying combinations of sdk and map version) i ran the keytool on dev_keystore and the sha1 is in google console as an android key with right package name etc - the map is from the docs example:

var win = Ti.UI.currentWindow;
var MapModule = require('ti.map');
var appc = MapModule.createAnnotation({
    latitude: 37.389569,
    longitude: -122.050212,
    title: 'Appcelerator HQ',
    subtitle: 'Mountain View, CA',
    pincolor: MapModule.ANNOTATION_GREEN
});
var apple = MapModule.createAnnotation({
    latitude: 37.331689,
    longitude: -122.030731,
    title: 'Apple HQ',
    subtitle: 'Cupertino, CA',
    pincolor: MapModule.ANNOTATION_RED
});
var google = MapModule.createAnnotation({
    latitude: 37.422502,
    longitude: -122.0855498,
    title: 'Google HQ',
    subtitle: 'Mountain View, CA',
    pincolor: MapModule.ANNOTATION_VIOLET
});
var route = MapModule.createRoute({
    width: 4,
    color: '#f00',
    points: [
        {latitude:google.latitude, longitude:google.longitude},
        {latitude:appc.latitude, longitude:appc.longitude},
        {latitude:apple.latitude, longitude:apple.longitude}
    ]
});
var mapview = MapModule.createView({
    mapType: MapModule.NORMAL_TYPE,
    region: {latitude: 37.389569, longitude: -122.050212, latitudeDelta: 0.2, longitudeDelta: 0.2},
    annotations: [google,appc,apple]
});
mapview.addRoute(route);
win.add(mapview);

this is the trace for the window

Answer 1

It seems like you havn't the latest version of android support library. Use the SDK Manager to Download the library: https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html After that, clean your project and compile again.
