Answer 1

Acrivity have to extends FragmentActivity for proper fragment inflating. Please, check if MainActivity extends FragmentActivity. Remember that if you write app for older versions of Android you have to use support library v4 and SupportMapFragment instead of MapFragment.

Btw. referencing android library in eclipse doesn't change AndroidManifest.xml, only project.properties. You have to add manually lines like this

<activity android:name="com.example.android.tictactoe.library.GameActivity" />

only if you use some Activity from library. In case of google maps v2 you only need MapFragment so you don't have to do that.
