Answer 2

Make sure you

• install the Google APIs in your Android SDK (this means the "Google APIs" choice instead of the "Android X.x" one)

• specify to use this library in your manifest XML:

  <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
  

• choose "Google API" as your "Build Target", not the "Android X.x" one.

FYI, when testing with the emulator AVD, you need to launch the "Google APIs" version instead of the "Android X.x" one.
