Hey guys I've been trying to follow the tutorial that Google has on it's developers site on using Google Maps in Android. Needless to say I couldn't get the thing working and it had multiple errors. So I switched over to one from Youtube and that's giving me errors too. All I want to do is make the map come up. The errors that I couldn't work with is posted below. I really hope you guys can give me a clue as to what to do. Any help is much appreciated.
Also people note that every time I faced an issue I googled it and tried multiple 'fixes'. So any inconsistency in the code is brought about by that.
Errors:
Gradle: Execution failed for task ':GoogleMapsDemoV2:compileDebug'.
Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Anyway here's all my code...

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
if (savedInstanceState == null) {
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
.add(R.id.container, new PlaceholderFragment())
.commit();
}
}
@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;
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_settings:
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
return rootView;
}
}
}
