I have been following Googles guide to making an app that allows you to view an app on an Android phone. I have followed many tutorials, but always end up with the same error! I have also searched around the web and figured my error is something to do with the "fragment". Here are my files:

MainActivity.java

package com.example.theapp;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    }
}

activity_main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:id="@+id/map"
          android:layout_width="match_parent"
          android:layout_height="match_parent"
          android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

AndroidManifest.xml

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

    <meta-data

        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

</application>

I am using Android 2.3. Here is the log cat messages:

     package com.example.theapp;

      import android.app.Activity;
              import android.os.Bundle;

             public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

                  @Override
             protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
               super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
               setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
                   }
                }

and in manifest add one more meta tag below previous one.

        <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="Api key" />

Thanks for getting back to me. Your code worked. However I am having some more problems, I am trying to achieve buttons that allow you to change its location such as: "youtube.com/watch?v=awX5T-EwLPc", however he does not use "extend FragmentActivity", how may I work around this? I currently have a map on one page, I cannot add a button above the map. It just shows the map, else its on top of the map. I have created a separate question. Thank you. Heres the link: stackoverflow.com/questions/22842732/…

As far as I remember, You should include android-support-v4.jar file from Android SDK folder "sdk/extras/android/support/v4/android-support-v4.jar". If You dont have that file, in Your SDK Manager install Android Support Library, which is found under Extras.

Thanks for getting back to me. I have already included this file, however now I have another problem. I would be grateful if you could take a look. Here is the link: stackoverflow.com/questions/22842732/…

Please check the following steps:

  1. In android manifest you have the NETWORK STATE permission like this

    < uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

  2. In android manifest make sure you have the following code as well-

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

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

  3. Lastly if you are testing your application on android API 5.x then make sure you modify your map code like this-

Instead of this

 map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

write this

map = getMapFragment().getMap();

and add a small method like this

private MapFragment getMapFragment() {
        FragmentManager fm = null;

        Log.d("", "sdk: " + Build.VERSION.SDK_INT);
        Log.d("", "release: " + Build.VERSION.RELEASE);

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            Log.d("", "using getFragmentManager");
            fm = getFragmentManager();
        } else {
            Log.d("", "using getChildFragmentManager");
            fm = getChildFragmentManager();
        }

        return (MapFragment) fm.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    }

And make sure for step 3 your min sdk version in your manifest file is 17 like this

<uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="17"
        android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
