Can anyone help me to see that what is the problem with this?????

You are using a fragment, but your minSdkVersion is 8. Which means you need to use the compatibility library's FragmentActivity to manage the fragment in your layout.

When I extend the Main.java by Activity it shows a black screen and
mobile hang on but when i change it to Fragment Activity it works fine
what is the problem here
You have
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
Api level 11 and below you need to use SupportMapFragment. So you need to extend FragmentActivity. FragmentActivity is the base class for support based fragments
Remove
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
You already have
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
There is no need for
<permission
android:name="com.uett.as.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.uett.as.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
and this
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
as of map api v2

Can´t run my app with google maps api v2

I tried everything, I researched and I can't get run my application. Each time I Run my application on my device get the message: "Sorry, Map has been has been interrupted". I done all the steps from this page https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start?hl=pl, and follow many tutorial and nothing. I hope you can save me.

Please Help me!!!!

try this :
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
on your activity :
SupportMapFragment mapfragment = (SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.showmap);

I think your problem in
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
try instead of this, in the way:
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
P.S. sometimes problem with maps is in not available Google Play Service on device.
(GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this) == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS)
must be true.

Use your main packet name for generate key.
For example:
im my project, google map v2 is in com.ftravelbook.googlemapv2
but when generate key, you must use your main packet name (com.ftravelbook)
here are some screenshots:

I was also having the same problem because i have generated key by making on google maps api v2 on.It is used for web not for mobile.
For android device you have to make a google maps android api v2 on and generate your key

Is your map API key for your debugbuilds or your release builds? The key is based on your keystore, which is different between your debug and release build. Your release key for google maps won't work if you're debugging your app, and vice versa.
