android google map v.2 : android.view.InflateExcep

Question

I found similar topics in stackoverflow but it didn't help for me. I want to show map, but when i run it, it return force close. Here are the codes :

map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
                .getMap();

this is my layout :

   <fragment
                    android:id="@+id/map"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="300dp"
                    android:layout_margin="20dp"
                    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" />

this is my manifest :

   <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="MY_API_KEY" />


    </application>

Answer 1

The logcat is clear

You need to add the below to manifest file

  <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
  android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

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

Edit your application's AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the following declaration within the <application> element. This embeds the version of Google Play services that the app was compiled with.

Answer 2

I got the same exception as well, but I figured out for Google API v2 to work, you must include these permissions

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true"/>

I hope this will help you guys.

P.S I used these permissions for adding a simple map in my app. There are certain other permissions which this link suggests as well.
