I think you have not added a reference to the Google Play Services library to your project. See this guide Google Maps Android v2 for more further helps.

Please check whether you used Google android map in console and not Google Map. This might also be a problem. In addition to that another problem may be, you might have used map fragments. Use support Fragment in xml
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
GoogleMap gm;
gm = ((SupportMapFragment)(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))).getMap();

You are most likely missing some permission(s) in your Manifest, probably MAPS_RECEIVE or READ_GSERVICES. Check this related question.
Edit: Insert your API key just before the closing tag </application>:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="your_api_key"/>
Add the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
Delete these lines:
<activity android:name="com.google.android.gms" />
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" android:required="true" />

Trying to figure out how Google Maps integrate with Android and Eclipse, I followed the documentation and did what I was supposed to, but I keep getting the error mentioned in the title, saying that the value isn't right, it is expecting 5089000, but is getting 0, presumably from the line
android:name="com.google.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Googling this error, I've found out that most people forgot this meta-data tag, but as you can see, I put it where it's supposed to be, and I've also imported the proper library and included it in the project, but I'm still getting the error.
Anything else that might be causing this?
I've got the proper API key generated, I've downloaded Google Play Services via SDK and I don't see that I've missed any steps.
I believe it should be
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
not
android:name="com.google.gms.version"

Android googleMap v2 Failed to contact google servers

So I have this problem with GoogleMaps v2 in Android, I'm always getting
06-02 17:06:56.460: I/Google Maps Android API(20121): Failed to contact Google servers. Another attempt will be made when connectivity is established.
06-02 17:07:11.785: E/Google Maps Android API(20121): Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue (but could be due to network errors).
Now I have checked for WIFI state and I have the "READ_GSERVICES" permission, already tried to clear the app data and even reinstall it, Got my SHA1 again and created a new key, I tried with a debug and a release.
Here is my Manifest file:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:versionCode="1"

You have to activate the Google Maps Android API v2 service in your Google Developers Console, in the Menu APIs & auth.
Set it to ON. After making that change, uninstall your app and reinstall it so the changes will take effect.

Authorization failure. Please see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start for how to correctly set up the map

I am trying to load a google map on screen.
I Googled it and tried all possible ways, but the screen shows a white screen and getting authorization failure error in logcat.
I have added Google play services to the project.
Created an API key and added in manifest file. but can not understand where I did wrong.
My manifest file:
<uses-sdk

Please help me...
Just noticed an error in your manifest file. You use a permission named "com.pgi.routviewer.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" but defined the permission like this:
<permission
android:name="com.pgi.root.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
You should probably change it to:
<permission
android:name="com.pgi.routviewer.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />

problem solved.. i had to uninstall the app, and do a project clean, then re-install the app.. don't know why exactly but now its working
Your API key in your manifest clearly does not match the API key you posted that is showing in the API console. Paste the API key from the console into the manifest. Should fix you right up.

Android App with Google Map is only showing map of Africa and will not load users current location?

I have an Android App that uses Google Maps and Google play when the user downloads the app and brings up the map the default view of Africa stays up and will not go to the users location. When I built the app I pulled up the SHA-1 from my release keystore and added it to the Google API Console which gave me my Release key which I added to my AndroidManifest.xml. When I run the app from debug mode or the Google Play the map brings up my current location with a route of where the user needs to go. Any suggestions?

This can happen if the users location isn't reaady when you set it. The default position for the map is over europe and africa so if thats what you are seeing then its probably that your user location is null or empty.
