How can I create an Android application in Android Studio that uses the Google Maps Api v2?

Question

I\'ve been having a lot of trouble in Android Studio trying to create an app with GoogleMap.

I have followed the following guide before with (almost) no issues usin

Here is a configuration for a project I made that uses Google Maps API V2, in Android Studio 0.2, with gradle 0.5.+. Also other modules like ActiobarSherlock, and a custom NumberPicker are used, and i just leave them in case someone needs them.

Project structure:

1) TOP Directory settings.gradle:

include ':SuperModule', ':libraries:actionbarsherlock', ':libraries:numberPicker'

2) TOP Directory build.gradle

task assemble {}

(some of you may faces the task assemble not found. thats why you put this line!)

3) SuperModule build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'android'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.1.36'
    compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:13.0.0'
    compile project(':libraries:actionbarsherlock')
    compile project(':libraries:numberPicker')
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 17
    buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 8
        targetSdkVersion 16
    }
}

Notice the dependencies here. Its actiobarSherlock(ABS), and NumberPicker, used as android Libraries. I also use Play Services(thats why the min sdk must be >=8), and the layout lib (for the space element) Support library is NOT included here, since its included in ABS library!

Actionbar Sherlock build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'android-library'

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:13.0.0'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 17
    buildToolsVersion "17.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 7
        targetSdkVersion 16
    }
    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
        }

        instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
    }
}

NumberPicker build.gradle isnt shown because it has the same logic with the others..
