Android Google Maps API application crashing on startup

Android Google Maps API application crashing on startup - android

I am new to Android programming. I learnt the very basics of an Activity and Activity Life cycle, and am willing to learn the Google Maps API.
However, I am unable to configure and run an application.I went through the Google documentation on installing the API and did as they said.I even used their code to check if the API was running.But every time I run, my application crashes.I don't know anything about debugging, and logcat shows me a few errors.
Can someone please explain the log to me and also help me get the program running ?I would be really thankful for your help.
Here is what logcat shows me(I use Eclipse IDE) :
My manifest code:
'
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.geo_tagger"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

Create an emulator from genymotion that supports google map api. You can look this up.
Find a download for the app store that will run on your emulator. I found mine here: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Universal_Packages_2... I was using the 4.2.2 version.
Drag and drop that into your emulator. I am using google nexus.
Say ok to the prompts.
Once everything is installed close down the emulator and restart.
sign up with a good account.
Voilà

android application resetting to older version

I have made an app which is pre-installed on android device of particular manufacturer. After this I have release an upgrade of application for example initial version 1.0.0.0 to upgrade version of 1.2.0.0. After upgrading the app if user restarts its phone then my application goes to the initial version of 1.0.0.0.
Don't know why this is happening ? Is there a problem in bundling the application to devices ?
Note: I am updating my app via my server and not from play store and this issue is reproducible only when app is pre-installed on devices.
In mainfest file of both the versions I forgot to change android:versionCode value, in both the versions android:versionCode=3. Is it creating problem because of this?
I have also changed the package name of Application class so is this is creating the problem ?
Manifest for first version:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.xxx.apps.spinr"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0.0.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="11" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/app_icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/SpinrTheme"
android:name="com.abc.xyz.GDApplication">
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_splash" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Mainfest for second version:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.xxx.apps.spinr"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.2.0.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="11" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/app_icon"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/SpinrTheme"
android:name="com.xxx.apps.GDApplication">
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:label="#string/title_activity_splash" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Thanks for the suggestion. As #Mahmoud in comment suggested that "google play never release update for the app with the same version code", so I incremented version code of app and it worked fine. #Rat-a-tat-a-tat Ratatouille as I said in question I am not updating my app via google play neither my app is on play store so I was not able to figure this out initially. Anyways thanks for help.
So conclusion is
whenever you want to send upgrade of app always increase version code
of the app

Reason for AVD not beeing compatible with project

When Im starting my AVD emulator from within Android studio the list of devices in the emuator shows that some of my devices are not compatible with the current project.
It doesn´t show what is not compatible. Is there any way to get to know that?
My first guess was conflicting API versions. But that seems not to be the case sice several AVD:s have the same api settings and some are compatible and others not.
This is my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.example.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<service
android:name=".SetLocation"
android:label="SetLocation"/>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
</manifest>
And a screenshot of the list:

maybe if your applications are written for lover API version that device that you will use for testing. Can you run the application in emulator?

Android error: Application is not installed on your phone

I am getting this error when trying to install my exported unsigned application on tablet pc (running Android 4.04. version). App is normally installing and running in Android emulator in Eclipse. I tried removing and reinstalling it, but that didn't help either. Atached is my AndroidManifest.xml since problem is often there (but I can't see any duplicate code).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="hr.punctum.LociranjePonudaProizvoda"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
<application
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:name=".ListaProizvoda" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name="DetaljiProizvoda"></activity>
<activity android:name="GMapsActivity"></activity>
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
</manifest>

The only thing suspicious I see is the uses-library tag, do you have the Google Maps lib in your tablet? (if yes then you should have the following files in it)
/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
Without the lib the apk installation will fail with INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY error.

Eclipse with android NoClassDefFoundError

I have tried everything to get this to work and now I have this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: android/app/Activity
There is another post on here that says to try this in the manifesto:
uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"
uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"
This solution does not work for me.
As background, I am running one windowsXP, I had to change the Bootstrap Entries to JRE System Library and JUnit3 to fix another error. I also had to change the path for the emulator to run as well.
This is my first time trying to run the droid app stuff on here. I am using the hello world example. I assume I must run the emulator for the phone first then run my code?
Thanks
