I build a project by following all the steps provided by Google on its developer's page. The project won't run on my android device running 2.3.7. However, it runs on the eclipse emulator running API level 19. Here's the code for manifest, xml and Java.

import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
Please note again that the application runs on the emulator with API 19.
Appreciating help.
Change this
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
to
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
and this
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>
to
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>
Your min sdk is 10. So you need to use SupportMapFragment in which case you need to extend FragmentActivity.
Use MapFragment above api level 11
Note: Test it on a real device which has google play services installed on it. Android 4.2.2 (API 17) Goole api's has google play services. Check point 3 in the below link. So testing on emulator in the below versions will not work as it google maps need google play services.
http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
I'm new here and also new in programming.
I'm making map, I have followed a lot of tutorials, all of them very simillar but I don't know why my app doesn't work. The app doesn't crash, but when I open the map appears the app title and a white screen where the map should appear. Do you know why is this happening?
Here are my app manifest, the activity:main.xml and the mainactivity.java, maybe here's the error that I can't find.
Also if helps logcat says me: Error opening trace file: No such file or directory (2)

Hope you can help me.
See here,just change the api key with your key in manifest file and follow these steps:
and make sure that generate api key with package name which is mentioned in android manifest file and your google_play_services_lib project should be present in your project's work space only.
Manifest file:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<activity
android:name="com.geeklabs.map.MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="replace with your API key"/>
</application>
</manifest>
MainActivity.java:
package com.geeklabs.map;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>
And make sure following steps done correct or not:
Steps:
* to ensure that device has Google Play services APK
* to install Google Play Service rev. more than 2
to create project at https://code.google.com/apis/console/
to enable "Google Maps Android API v2"
to register of SHA1 in project (NOW, YOU NEED WRITE SHA1;your.app.package.name) at APIs console and get API KEY
to copy directory ANDROID_SDK_DIR/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib to root of your project
to add next line to the YOUR_PROJECT/project.properties
android.library.reference.1=google-play-services_lib
to add next lines to the YOUR_PROJECT/proguard-project.txt
-keep class * extends java.util.ListResourceBundle {
protected Object[][] getContents();
}
Okay, now you ready to create your own Google Map app with using Google Map APIs V2 for Android.
If you create application with min SDK = 8, please use android support library v4 + SupportMapFragment instead of MapFragment.
After got this let me know.
First your error:
Error opening trace file: No such file or directory (2)
doesn't mean anything and you should node pay any attention to it.
Second, both meta-data tags should be inside of the application scope, like so:
...
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="<API_KEY>"/>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>
Lastly, you are not actually creating any map object in your activity layout file, what you have there is an empty RelativeLayout and hence the empty white screen. What you need is to add an MapFragment in there or SupportMapFramgnet depending on your target api. (In your case it would be MapFragment.)
Like so:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<fragment
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
You can get more detailed information from this blog post I wrote on this topic:
Google Maps API V2 Guide
I had a working Google maps API v2 for Android example application that worked perfectly until I initialized a git repository in it's directory.
I have since then erased the entire project, all references to it in the Google cloud control, and started a new project.
The problem I'm facing now is an authentication issue:
11-07 10:44:05.445: E/Google Maps Android API(3640): Ensure that the following correspond to what is in the API Console: Package Name: [package name], API Key: [key], Certificate Fingerprint: [fingerprint]
I already tried with no avail:
1. Triple check API key and correct
2. Erase the entire project, disable Google maps API v2 for Android, enable it again and recreate the project
3. Add permissions for MAPS_RECEIVE
4. Cleaning, removing, and re-installing the release package
Really stumped by this one...
Here is the manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

<uses-permission android:name="com.mycompany.mypackage.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.gmaps, menu);
return true;
}
}
And the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:id="#+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
map:mapType="normal" />
And the Google cloud console:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/hSx9N.jpg
http://i.stack.imgur.com/8sNbm.jpg
ID of your package is com.mycompany.canipark, but in console com.mycompany
Also, try to write
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
In AndroidManifest.xml in <application> section
I really don't understand this..
I waited two days, and suddenly everything's working again. I didn't change a single line of code.
Wish Google will add a meaningful error other than Authorization failure when it does...
Thanks guys for your help!
I'm trying my hand and Android Application Development. I'm currently using Eclipse (I can't remember the version, whatever the newest is). I've crossed a bridge where I just can't seem to grasp what I'm doing wrong. I'm attempting to use the Google Maps V2 API. I've been through several documents and tried several techniques, all of which lead to the same error:
Android.view.Inflate Exception: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class fragment
I've been pounding my face into the keys for 2 days straight trying to grasp what I'm doing wrong here.
Things I've done:
Started with a blank activity.
Project -> Properties -> Android -> Project Build Target is Google APIs - 4.2 - API 17 - I've tried every other option as well (as long as above version 3.0, found it documented
Added the google-play-services_lib to my Package Explorer. I indicated that the google-play-services_lib was indeed a library.
Project -> Properties -> Android -> Library -> Add -> and I choose the location to the google-play-services_lib.
Included android-support-v4.jar as a dependency of my project.
I've tried so many different answers from questions similar to mine, but to no avail. :(
I can usually figure these things out, but maybe I'm just too overloaded.
My package explorer tree in eclipse looks like
google-play-services_lib
Svma
Here's the code:>

Reference Documents
I used “Error inflating class fragment” with google map to try and fix my issues.
I referenced This google maps quick start guide to create my project.
I had started initially with the sample code from the Introduction to the Google Maps Android V2 Api
A whole slew of SO questions.
So, SO Community, what am I doing wrong? Why am I unable to grasp this simple concept.
Thank you in advance.
I know this is probably a dead thread but just in case someone stumbles upon here having an identical problem - your manifest might be missing the following meta information:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Declare it within the <application> element and your code should work. I ran into the same issue following a youtube tutorial that skipped this step and only when carefully going through the original Google tutorial I noticed the missing code.
Anyway, hope this helps someone.
I have the same code/same problem! Try adding android:name="com.testing.svma.MainActivity" to "fragment" in the layout! It solved the issue for me
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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"
android:name="com.testing.svma.MainActivity"/>
I had the same problem, solved it by modifying the Manifest.
This is my manifest.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="example.gps"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

</manifest>
And the xml file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<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"
/>
The java class is
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
That solved my problem
Try to add google-play-services library reference to your project. If you are using Eclipse, you need to go to Project->Properties->Android and Add google-play-services library project.
ALTERNATIVELY,
You can modify project.properties file manually.
Try to add reference to your google_play_services library. So my project.properties file looks like:
# Project target.
target=android-17
android.library.reference.1=../../../android-sdks/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib
In your case path to google-play-services lib may be different
I tried to import your code and it crashed as well. When I modified properties file - I've got map running
I spend a lot of time trying to solve this problem and after much reading and trying, I solved by changing the
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity
for this
public class MainActivity extends android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity
I hope this can help you
Had tried all the above answers over a period of a couple of days and then eventually this worked:
Project -> Properties -> Android -> Project Build Target
Changed the project build target to android 4.3(API 18) and clicked apply
In the manifest I then manually changed the min and target sdk versions:
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="18"
android:targetSdkVersion="18" />
This now matches the target=android-18 in the project.properties file (which resulted from the project build target change we did first)
I also tried android:minSdkVersion="11" which worked so the targetSdkVersionis the important bit.
Hope this helps someone!
I had the same problem and I did the mistake to only add one of the 2 following tags.
The actual error is really misleading, as you might be thinking of some API level UI issue.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="<YOUR VALUE>"/>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Note that you are also missing one of these two
Frequently the problem is in Manifest.xml , so be sure that you write the right permissions like :
`
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.zako.android.locationapi.maps"

<!-- Required OpenGL ES 2.0. for Maps V2 -->

<!-- Requires OpenGL ES version 2 -->

</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data

android:value="......" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
</application>
</manifest>
`
don't forget <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
and <meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
I had a similar error and I think it comes from this point: when I include the Google Play Service API I do not copy it in my workspace, I use the original one !!!
Note: You should be referencing a copy of the library that you copied to your source tree—you should not reference the library from the Android SDK directory.
Check this point.
I have got similar problem that I resolved by right click project->tools>add support library ...
and setup library
I hope this help you
Just include the following line of code on onDestroy()
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = ((SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map_location_sharing));
if(mapFragment != null) {
FragmentManager fM = getFragmentManager();
fM.beginTransaction().remove(mapFragment).commit();
It worked for me.Hopefully gonna work for you too. Thanks
I had this error too and it was due to EXTERNAL PERMISSIONS. It has no sense but I added this permission and since then everything worked fine.
In Some of android 6.0 mobile this exception is bug
If unable to flat XML cause by
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.Configuration android.content.res.Resources.getConfiguration()' on a null object reference
Then it is active bug in android
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35827842
This can be solved by adding
android:hardwareAccelerated="true" adding in activity tag
using both meta data references was resolving the issue in my case:

android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="yourAPIkeyFromGoogleAPIConsole" />
I simply added API key to manifest and it helped
I was facing the same problem I just added the API_KEY to Manifest and every thing is fine.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="#string/map_api_key" />
I am trying to add google maps to my android application, and I followed this documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start
First off, is my Manifest file correct?
Manifest.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="where.is.the.action"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true"/>
<permission
android:name="where.is.the.action.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="where.is.the.action.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<application android:label="#string/app_name" android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher">
<activity android:name="MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"/>
</application>
</manifest>
Then here is my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My Location"
android:onClick="getLocation"
android:layout_weight="0"
/>
<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.MapFragment"/>
</LinearLayout>
It works fine if I remove the fragment tag, but once I add it back in the app closes and displays: "Unfortunately, MainActivity has stopped."
Does anyone see what is wrong?
Perhaps you are trying to use MapFragment on a device that is not running Android 3.0+. MapFragment is for use with an Activity and the native fragment implementation from API Level 11. SupportMapFragment is for use with a FragmentActivity and the fragment backport supplied by the Android Support Library.
UPDATE
Upon further review, the problem is probably two-fold:
You attempted to attach google-play-services.jar to your project, instead of following the instructions and attaching the Play Services Android library project to your project.
You did #1 above by messing with your build path directly, instead of copying the JAR to libs/.
Undo what you did originally. Then, follow the instructions to attach the Android library project to your project (which, as a side effect, will properly set up that JAR for you).
Since it appears that you are doing a command-line build, you will need to create the command-line build files for the Android library project, which Google elected not to ship (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr). Run:
android update project -p /home/ryan/android-sdk-linux/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib
to create the necessary files.
