If you want to use Google services(like Google Maps), you need to first set up Google Play Services for Android, you may following the instruction form here. (Get your own API key, put in your AndroidManifest.xml, etc.)
I suggest you using a real device to test. If you want to use the Genymotion as a emulator, you need also get the google service first. For more details, please refer here.

For getting direction and distance from Google you have to do following:
Write this code on direction button's click listener or anywhere from that you want to show direction and distance.
String uri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr="
+ source_latitude + "," + source_longitude + "&daddr="
+ destination_latitude + ","
+ destination_longitude;
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse(uri));
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps",
"com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
startActivity(intent);

Make sure your API key is generated with SHA-1 key + package name mentioned in the android manifest file not but your actual package.
i.e., SHA-1+com.example.googlemapsv2

If you are using eclipse go to Window->Preferences -> Android -> Build and generate a new api key for the SHA1 that you see in this window.
Put the new key in your manifest.
Probably you are using an api key for the apk. The keys are different between run/debug usage and apk deploy usage.

Add library to your AndroidManifest File:
<uses-library
android:name="com.google.android.maps"
android:required="true" />

Just check this:
package com.example.mymap;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
FragmentManager myFM = .getSupportFragmentManager();
SupportMapFragment myMAPF = (SupportMapFragment) myFM
.findFragmentById(R.id.fragment1);
MAP = myMAPF.getMap();
MAP.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
MAP.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
MAP.setOnMapClickListener(new OnMapClickListener() {
#Override
public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
MAP.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(point).title(
point.toString()));
Log.e("lat", "" + point);
}
});
}
}
Your xml file will be:
<fragment
android:id="#+id/fragment1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/fragment1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />
And finally add libray in manifest file:
<uses-library
android:name="com.google.android.maps"
android:required="true" />

You should use SupportFragment Your min sdk is 8.
<fragment
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
Your activity must extend FragmentActivity
Import
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
Edit:
From your comments you say there is a error #
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
So i guess you have not referenced google play services library project properly.
Download the Google Play services. Goto Windows. Goto Android Sdk Manager. Choose Google play services under extras.
Copy the google-play services_lib library project to your workspace. The library project can be found under the following path.
<android-sdk-folder>/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib library project .
Import the library project to your eclipse
Click File > Import, select Android > Existing Android Code into Workspace, and browse the workspace import the library project. You can check if it is library project. Right click on the library project. Goto properties. Click Android on the left panel. You will see Is Library checked.

Try this.
In your xml file
<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"/>
In the java file
public class MapExampleActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map_example);
//setUpMap
}

I have a mapview with icons for a specific location. How do I add mylocationoverlay?

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.
MainActivity.java
package com.example.midlandtest;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLngBounds;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
static final LatLng HAMBURG = new LatLng(53.28000, -7.49000);
static final LatLng KIEL = new LatLng(53.274823, -7.492655);
private GoogleMap map;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
.getMap();
Marker hamburg = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(HAMBURG)
.title("Tullamore"));
Marker kiel = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(KIEL)
.title("Midlands Regional Authority")
.snippet("Hey :-)")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher)));
// Move the camera instantly to hamburg with a zoom of 15.
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(HAMBURG, 15));
// Zoom in, animating the camera.
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}

Call setMyLocationEnabled(true) on your GoogleMap.
