Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
