Google Maps API v2 not working

Question

I am trying to build an application using Google Maps API v2 but the thing is, the application keeps giving me force closes although i followed all the required instructions.

Answer 1

I had this problem and was wasting time (over 1.5 days of hair pulling frustration). Then I watched a youtube video that was doing a boring walk through of the instructions to add the Google Play Services to an app. Well, in that video after adding the SDK from the sdk manager they used the Eclipse "Check for Updates". That little piece of magic went out and downloaded a jar file that the SDK Manager doesn't do! They really need to add this to the instructions and save people the frustration. I was tempted to just remove Google Maps from my app. I used the 1.0 and I needed to update to 2.0 or ditch maps.
