I am trying to develop my first application for Android with Google Maps V2. I've copied one code from this website: source and I followed the instructions step by step. Now I am getting these errors in my Mainactivity and I don't know what is wrong.
I have an error in the following lines:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);

final LatLng CIU = new LatLng(35.21843892856462, 33.41662287712097);
Marker ciu = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(CIU).title("My Office"));
}

Remove
import android.R;
and also you are missing a meta tag in manifest file
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"

You should have
import info.tekguc.umut.googlemapsmapsandroidv2.R;
If it is same package no need to import

Am new to android .i dont know how to display map using fragment.this is my code.i dont get map.my program is unfortunately stopped.and i got error in logcat:No Activity Found to handle.can anyone help me please
You need to activate Google Map API V2 from your google developer console, from there you need to generate map api key, then you need to give that key to map.
Additionally, you need to declare some classes in Android Manifect file, after that you can see map. Its a process and you must need to follow it.
Just visit some good sites like :https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start
Try this......
<fragment
android:id="#+id/map"
android:class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
Instead of..
<fragment
android:id="#+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
Here is the complete code to show google maps v2..

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

I know to show your current location, you must use a real device
I have been able to create a mapview from a tutorial online. That's working fine now.
However, I want to learn how to add my current location? I have been through several tutorials but can't get my head around it. Any ideas? This is the code i'll be working from.
