Android map application reports FATAL ERROR: main

Question

I'm editing an Android application that displays the current location of the user in google maps. But when I try to call the activity through an intent it crashes and closes with an error "Unfortunately the Application has stopped". I don't know why everything seems to be perfect. But the older application works without any error only the application edited and compiled now is getting crashed. Please help me to get rid of this problem.

Here is my Button XML Code:-

 <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout_width="180dp"
        android:layout_height="40dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="80dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="41dp"
        android:background="@drawable/hot"
        android:onClick="MyPlace"
        android:text="MyPlace" />

Then my java code to call the Activity:-

public void MyPlace(View v){
    Intent ii= new Intent(Dashboard.this,Myplace.class);
    startActivity(ii);
}

Myplace.java

And one more thing the Application was created using some older versions of Android Studio but now I'm editing it with Android Studio 3.0.

Answer 1

I have solved this issue by adding these dependencies in the build.gradle file of the project.

dependencies {  
   compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:6.5.87'    
   compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:6.5.87'  
}
