I am working on a map app. It's working for me on SDK 16 but the problem was I need to expand it on sdk 8 and my app crashes. This is my whole code for sdk 16 here
i added support-library-v4 as externar JAR to project. i also added google-play-service-lib as library. but nothing works
I changed Activity
to FragmentActivity
and also used
googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
instead of
googleMap = ((MapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
I had many problems but finally solved it on sdk 16. I need to use that in sdk 8 but app crashes and doesn't work.
plz help me on this.
this is my manifest:
