here is my androidManifest.xml:
note that the code has no meta-data tag. But I never needed it until now. Also my app does not use ads on it.

I keep trying anyways.

In your manifest file , inside the application tag put this code
<application>
<!-- Sample AdMob App ID: ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~3347511713 -->
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
/// pass the key generated from your admob which contains ~(APP ID)
android:value="ca-app-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~yyyyyyyyyy"/> //
</application>

just check whether meta-data tag is out of activity tag
if it is like this
<manifest>
<application>
<activity>
<meta-data>
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="ca-app-pub-4347201915048498~6120388314"/>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
this should be changed to this
<manifest>
<application>
<activity>
</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="ca-app-pub-4347201915048498~6120388314"/>

What I am doing wrong here?

I was receiving the same error.
My solution to this problem was to update in the grandle build at the application level.
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 4.2.0'
My AndroidManifest:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="ca-app-pub-***********~**********"/>
I hope it helps. regards

error AppCompat you need use app.themecompat

referring to thread Unfortunately, 'app_name' has stopped, I solved it, I get a new error:

Since you are using the appcompat library the xmlns attribute in menu_main.xml should be:

I am not getting where I am getting wrong or missing anything and
how to remove please help me in solving this issue.

The Log say you:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: API key not found. Check that <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="your API key"/> is in the <application> element of AndroidManifest.xml
So be sure that you added it in AndroidManifest.xml like in the guide:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="API_KEY"/>

In your manifest file error cause this line
<!-- Goolge Maps API Key -->
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="my api key" />
In value of API key you must add your own API key.
See This link for generate API key

Clearly from your logcat, you have just copy pasted the manifest.xml file. You have to enter your key instead of your API key
Generate your key from google console. And use it in manifest.xml
You will need two metadata for version2 of googlemap
One with api key and another with google service
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version"
So you should simply copy paste the line. And only try to under stand later.
:-)
Edited:
Change the package name to yours (not of androidhive :-)) Change the line in permission
<permission
android:name="info.androidhive.googlemapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
To:
<permission
android:name="com.example.careandcure.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
Also why are you using package name of info.androidhive.googlemapsv2 in uses-permission. Change it to your own package name i.e. com.example.careandcure . Hope it's finally your solution.

Using Android Emulator (eclipse) fails to start the tic-tac-toe example

I am trying to test the tic-tac-toe in eclipse. It compiles and deploys to emulator device (AVD) but no matter what version of Android I use, the application deployed says: Application Stopped. Close it. Is there any specific setting I should follow?
Note: I already setup the Eclipse environment, add libraries, etc.
Thanks!
Here is the log error:

Exception states that it didn't find your GameActivity class. Check your Manifest and see if the name given there as the launcher activity (GameActivity) matches with the class that you have in your package, check the package names, etc. The exception has nothing to do (at least the piece that you have shown) with Cast.

Thanks for all the help. I solved by silly configuration. I created a libs folder and copied under GoogleCastSDKAndroid.jar (marked as Private Library). Compiled and it worked perfect!
Now, I just learned the casting function can't work because AVD runs a different IP address (in my case registered a 10.0.2.15) than my wifi segment (192.168.1.x). Therefore, the AVD can't see a chrome device.
I hope this last conclusion helps other people. The first was a mistake of configuration.
