Answer 2

I think you need to download google play services r10 or even r12. Then you don't need

<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

For better understanding follow this link

Answer 3

After adding these two lines in my manifest file It worked .

For eclipse add this :

    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" 
     android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
              android:value="Your KEY" />

If you are using Android Studio with gradle0.7+ then add this line:

<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="Your Key" />

Answer 4

As you commented on @gokhan answer, you should do

<meta-data 
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

However, you still need to do

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="@string/app_key" />

where app_key is your Key.

I suggest you to create an ids.xml file inside your values folder and have something like:

<resources>
    <string name="app_id" translatable="false">1234567890</string>
    <string name="app_key" translatable="false">QWERTTYruyfgREYT</string>
    <string name="facebookAppId" translatable="false"></string>

Answer 5

Probably You forgot to add your google_api_key you must add your key for use this service

You should add your key too AndroidManifest.xml

<application>

<meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="xxxxxxxxxx" />

</application>

like this.

I hope this is help you
