Android Error: Binary XML file line #16: Error inflating class fragment when adding map fragment

Question

I'm trying to display map using map api v2.

Here is my xml code:

 <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"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello_world" />

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    />

Here is Code in activity:

 import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;


 public class MainActivity extends Activity  {

 private GoogleMap map;


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
            .getMap();
}

@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;
}

}

I'm trying to run it on my device (Andorid 4.1.2 which is api 16) I've added google-play-services-lib in my procject. When I run app, it just crashes.

Here is full logcat log:

Your meta tag should be under application tag

 <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
   ...// rest of the code
   <meta-data
     android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
     android:value="**MY KEY**"/>
 </application>

Check the docs under the topic Adding the API Key to your application

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start

Edit:

Your also missing

  <permission
    android:name="stringbind.nikolacjenolomacdemo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

Also use your package name

   <uses-permission android:name="stringbind.nikolacjenolomacdemo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

Also missing

    <uses-feature
    android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
    android:required="true"/>

@hyperN you are also missing a permission tag.

Raghunandan Over a year ago

@hyperN also the package name for your app and tutorial is different so use the your app package name. check the manifest again.

Raghunandan Over a year ago

@hyperN cross check your manifest again seems you are missing quite a few tags which is required. check the edited post and don't forget to accept if it helps.
