Android: Google Maps API v1 to v2

I've got android app (source) which is using google maps api v1. Unfortunately I can't use it because I can't generate maps key for v1 api. And because of that maps are not showing.
Is there an easy way for changing source code to be compatible with v2 google maps api? I've tried this tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidGoogleMaps/article.html but without bigger success (I'm newbie in android development)

How to pass the latitude and longitude of a place to be displayed on google map?

Hi I have developed an android app which uses google places api to display the nearby locations.
Now when I click on a place name I want to display its location in the map. My question is that how to pass the latitude and longitude to the google maps to be displayed. Right now I am passing the values statically but when I click on the name I want to pass its lat and long dynamically to be drawn. Please tell me how to do that. I am new to android.

Using array to show different points on map

I am making an app in which i have a navigation screen where the user can give in multiple locations.

a few hints:
On FindLocation add an else to catch not found locations:
public void FindLocation(String plaats) {
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
try {
List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocationName(
plaats, 5);
//String add = "";
if (addresses.size() > 0) {
coordinates[counter] = (int) (addresses.get(0).getLatitude() * 1E6);
counter++;
coordinates[counter] = (int) (addresses.get(0).getLongitude() * 1E6);
counter++;
} else {
Log.v(TAG, "Site " + plaats + " not found!");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Also in onCreate() loop over already defined locations, not the whole array:
for (int i = 0; i<count; i+=2)
{
point = new GeoPoint(coordinates[i], coordinates[i+1]);
OverlayItem overlayItem = new OverlayItem(point, "new place added", null);
itemizedOverlay.addOverlayItem(overlayItem);
}

Not Executing - What should we consider this as a Compile Time or a Runtime Error.
If yes paste the error logs. Also
Are You Trying this on Real Device ? If not do so
Is GPS of your device is ON ? if not do so
Try using 0 parameter instead of 200. See its results.
Also try LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER
Make Sure You have sufficient permission defined in Manifest File.

Unable To Call Task Within A Thread

I am trying to display multiple pin locations on the map i.e. my location and another location I get from the cloud server.
Based on the code below:
I keep getting a NullPointer Error message when I try to tokenize my string. This implies that my CloudTask activity is never fired.... I can't figure out why and the Eclipse Debugger won't step through the threads...any help is appreciated.
