Genymotion just Doesnt launch GoogleMapsDemo Application-Eclipse.

I downloaded project of GoogleMapsDemo Application, it hasnt got errors on Eclipse. But in genymotion emulator it keeps saying unfortunately application cannot be launched.
Its MY Android manifest:

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.

Same xml code, different graphic layout

I am new to android development and i tried copying an xml layout from another project, but the graphic layout of that xml seems to be different from what i am getting. I have no idea what is missing in my project that I am not getting the same layout. Please help.

if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
// If a new post has been added, update
// the list of posts
updateinteriorList();
}
}
}

I got the solution. I removed android:theme="#style/AppTheme" from the manifest file. That worked fine for me.

I am not used to deal with ListActivities since I usually do it with a ListView in a normal activity but my first guess is that you still need to have a line like this in your onCreate() method to actually get any layout...
setContentView(R.layout.fragmentContainer);
(assuming your xml file has the same name as it's ID right?
Try putting it after the
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
I am not sure if it will work but try it! :)

I think Your Fragment can not cast to MapView. so it could be your classcastexception . if not than you shoud post your logcat output.
try by use this in your Layout may be solve problem:
<com.google.android.gms.maps.MapView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/mainmap"
android:layout_below="#+id/innerrelativelay" />
or
<fragment
android:id="#+id/mainmap"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" />

There are a bunch of things missing. Heres a list of what I saw, and some are from comments:
You are extending mapActivity which is based on versio 1 of google maps android. But in xml you are using mapfragment v2 of google maps android.
You should extend FragmentActivity or any other activity like ActionBarActivity that extends from FragmentActivity.
You are missing metadata tag in manifest file.
Min sdk version is 8 so you need to use SupportMapFragment in xml you are using mapfragment which is available above api 11.

I think you should better go through the guide for Mopub Banner Ads Integration which explains you the steps of banner ads integration.
Hope this will help you.

Use view in XML file
<com.mopub.mobileads.MoPubView
android:id="#+id/mrect_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1" />
in activity Load code
pass id of view in below function ,unit id of ur app,and keywords of cataogry of ads
public void loadMoPubView(MoPubView moPubView, String adUnitId, String keywords) {
if (moPubView == null) {
Utils.logToast(LockScreenActivity.this, "Unable to inflate MoPubView from xml.");
//Toast.makeText(this, "Unable to inflate MoPubView from xml.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return;
}
try {
Utils.validateAdUnitId(adUnitId);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException exception) {
Utils.logToast(LockScreenActivity.this, exception.getMessage());
return;
}
moPubView.setBannerAdListener(this);
moPubView.setAdUnitId(adUnitId);
moPubView.setKeywords(keywords);
moPubView.setAutorefreshEnabled(true);
moPubView.loadAd();
}

in Android, unable to inflate Google Maps v2 fragment for SDK version 8

It used to work, then I think it broke when I updated Eclipse to API 19. Now when I try to run my Maps Activity, I get the error: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class fragment at android.view.LayoutInflater.createViewFromTag(LayoutInflater.java:587) So I started over trying to recreate my Maps Activity using the tutorials found here. So now I'm back to just getting the map to display. Here's what I've got in the layout:
<fragment
android:id="#+id/map_wcbc_FRAG"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

I'm targeting Android 4.22, I don't need to target Google APIs 4.22 do I? And I have the Google Play Services and Support v4 libraries in there. So can anyone see why the map won't inflate?

The new version of the Google Play Services library, including maps v2, drops support for API Level 8 (Froyo). It is now Gingerbread+.
You can either use an older version of the play services library, or drop support for Froyo in your own app.
