import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    private GoogleMap map;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        map=((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

        map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);

    }
}

It seems that you should take use of the advice from your output:

You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

You can read more about meta-data and application tags in Manifest.xml here: Manifest file meta-data

could you please put your code here (of MainActivity) and log? You have NullPointer somewhere in the code but it is hard to tell where.

Niranga Over a year ago

Sorry it looks like a mess. ill add it as a seperate question sir. Thanks for your help

fgeorgiew Over a year ago

I guess that your map object is Null and then you invoke setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL); on it. try to do in in if(map!=null) setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
