Using Android Emulator (eclipse) fails to start the tic-tac-toe example

I am trying to test the tic-tac-toe in eclipse. It compiles and deploys to emulator device (AVD) but no matter what version of Android I use, the application deployed says: Application Stopped. Close it. Is there any specific setting I should follow?
Note: I already setup the Eclipse environment, add libraries, etc.
Thanks!
Here is the log error:

Thanks Ali. Here is the manifest, but I see there is a match of class and activity.

Exception states that it didn't find your GameActivity class. Check your Manifest and see if the name given there as the launcher activity (GameActivity) matches with the class that you have in your package, check the package names, etc. The exception has nothing to do (at least the piece that you have shown) with Cast.

Thanks for all the help. I solved by silly configuration. I created a libs folder and copied under GoogleCastSDKAndroid.jar (marked as Private Library). Compiled and it worked perfect!
Now, I just learned the casting function can't work because AVD runs a different IP address (in my case registered a 10.0.2.15) than my wifi segment (192.168.1.x). Therefore, the AVD can't see a chrome device.
I hope this last conclusion helps other people. The first was a mistake of configuration.

You should not only look at errors but also at warnings (orange text color in eclipse logcat view). Dalvik class loading are often preceded by some interesting informations about why a class can't be loaded by the Dalvik, something like a super class not existing.

SupportMapFragment not found

I am trying to get Google Maps Android API v2 working on Android 2.2 on a HTC Desire.
My main.xml contains the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="dk.sw510e13.user"

<application

android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
This is my activity.
package dk.sw510e13.user;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
When I run the application, I will get the following exception. It seems that it cannot find SupportMapFragment, however, I believe that I have both the support library and Google Play Services as dependencies. When creating the project in Android Studio I chose to add support for fragments.

This is the problem that seems to be occurred when missing Google Play services.
I request you to please follow the steps mentioned below to get the Google Play services to be included in your application.
copying the google-play-services.jar in libs folder and set in the build path of eclipse is a wrong method.
import Google Play services in your project and add it in workspace.
from location of your SDK folder.
\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib
2! Now you added Google Play Services to your work space, we have to create a reference
from our project to this library. Right-Click your project and choose “Properties” go
to the Android section, in the lower part press the “Add…” button and add a reference
to that library. Your result should be as in the screen shot bellow:
adding Google Play services library
Please Add
<permission
android:name="com.anchit.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
in your manifest

Google Play Service library and Google Maps

I try to create a simple GoogleMap by Using Google Play Service and Google Maps API. But all the times I get errors...

I think the Problem is how I include the GooGlePlayService... I´ve tried to add as module, as libary as External Libary but I don't know how to include and to use it right... :(

****EDIT2**
Problem solved by using this: java.lang.noclassdeffounderror: com.google.android.gms.R$styleable**

The only thing I find missing in your RecorderMap.java file is that you haven't imported the SupportFragment class. So add this line to it
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
If that doesn't work, then check out the following.
From what you are saying, it means you have already installed the google play services. If not, then try installing it using this link http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
After that, referencing the google play services library should be as easy as editing your build.gradle file. The current version of android studio makes this possible. Under dependencies in your build.gradle file, add the following code
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36'
You seem to have your API key intact.
Finally, remember you need to test your app on an actual android device and not an emulator. The android API version 2 is not yet able to display maps on emulators.
I think this should be okay for your app to work.

can someone help me?

This seems to be a problem in how you have your project and its libraries configured. The compiler is unable to find the auto generated R class for ABS which probably means it's just not being generated. You should try reimporting ABS into your project. This video on how to get started with the library might help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GJ6yY1lNNY.

Have you imported the libraries properly?
Well try this ! this might help you:
