LOG CAT Error on Google Maps API using basic tutorial

LOG CAT Error on Google Maps API using basic tutorial - android

I submitted an similar question earlier on a more advanced project, so I thought I would simplify things by using the maps API tutorial provided by google to try and replicate the error I was getting, and I get the same error! Good and bad, at least I know it's not my project causing the error.
Now I just need to figure out why I am getting this error! I am new to programming but I followed this tutorial here verbatum:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start
Here is the error I am getting:

Here is my simple MainActivity.java
package com.example.test;
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);
}
}
here is my simple 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"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:name="com.example.test.MainActivity"/>
Here is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.test"

android:versionName="1.0" >

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="HIDDEN"/>
</application>
</manifest>
The only thing I can think of is that my manifest file is improperly set up. But I followed the instructions and Eclipse didn't give me an error on it. I am up in arms here trying to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

Your logcat clearly said
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4242000 but found 0. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
03-24 20:47:03.244: E/AndroidRuntime(6250): at com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil.n(Unknown Source)
Add the Google Play services version to your app's manifest
Edit your application's AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the
following declaration within the element. This embeds the version of
Google Play services that the app was compiled with.
You need to add <meta-data> under <application> tag into your AndroidManifest.xml
....<application>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>
This is because latest google play services requires a version name, which is to be mentioned using <meta-data .. /> inside AndroidManifest.xml
....<application>
..............
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="Key" />
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>
Also Extends your Activity to FragmentActivity
MainActivity extends FragmentActivity

You need to add the below as a child of application tag as mentioned in the other answer.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Also you have
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
So change this
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
to
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
Since you use SupportMapFragment you need to use FragmentActivity which is the base class for support based fragments.
Also change this
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:name="com.example.test.MainActivity"/> // remove this
to
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

Put both meta tag with your API key....in between applicationTag.
Also add permission tag with your package name which you use in Google console in your AndroidManifest.xml.
<permission
android:name="com.xyz.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.xyz.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
.....
.....
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="Put Your API Key here"/>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>
Extend your class activity to fragment activity use below
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity
Insted of this
public class MainActivity extends Activity

You are missing following lines in your Manifest file,
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Please write these lines before your MAP-API Key tag, inside the tag.
Once you will complete these changes you will get Fragment error as you are using latest version of Map but you are using Activity inside your code, So you need to change following as well,
Extends your Activity to FragmentActivity
MainActivity extends FragmentActivity

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

Why my app chash when i put Fragment for Google Maps

I tried to run a google map aplication but when i put a map Fragmet in my xml file the app stops. I think the problem is with the fragment map because when i run the app without it, for example add just a button runs perfectly, i also put the manifest to review
here is my java code:
public class Activity2 extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_activity2);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment()).commit();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity2, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
/**
* A placeholder fragment containing a simple view.
*/
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_activity2,
container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
}
Here is my XML code
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.tutorialgooglemaps.Activity2$PlaceholderFragment" >
<fragment
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Add the Google Play services version to your app's manifest
Edit your application's AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the
following declaration within the element. This embeds the version of
Google Play services that the app was compiled with.
You need to add <meta-data> under <application> tag into your AndroidManifest.xml
....<application>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>
This is because latest google play services requires a version name, which is to be mentioned using <meta-data .. /> inside AndroidManifest.xml
Update: build your manifest.xml like:
....<application>

Edit your application's AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the following declaration within the element. This embeds the version of Google Play services that the app was compiled with.
This is a new requirement as of the updated google play services which is rev 13 i guess.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#getting_the_google_maps_android_api_v2
There is no need for
<permission
android:name="com.example.gmapsapp.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
and this
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.gmapsapp.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
Refer Specifying permission in the above link

try to put
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="key" />
inside your application tag, in AndroidManifest.xml

it says that class is not there, but it IS there. I tried to configure things in my project's build path, but not too sure what to tweak there.
And here is how I start my Manifest file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="business.premium"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true"/>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/CustomTheme"
android:name="MyApplication"
android:debuggable="true">
<activity
android:name=".Problemio"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Any thoughts on how to solve this, or what to look into? Thanks!

Its because you specified the "android:name" attribute in the application node in the manifest file.
Do not use the android:name attribute!
It, misleadingly, does not have anything to do with the name of your app and is actually the name of an extra class to load before loading your application. That's why you are getting the ClassNotFoundException.
Remove it and it should work:
<application
android:icon="#drawable/icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:description="#string/help_text" >
This answer is taken from: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException on working app
