Answer 2

You have to declare fragment class of map in your xml layout as below: Which is used to load the GoogleMap in your fragment.

Have your referred Add a Map in your Application ?

<fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />

EDITED:

The error is because your application contains the API level below 12 . And Please note that the code below is only useful for testing your settings in an application targeting Android API 12 or later, Below code should not be used in a production application.

      googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

So instead try as below:

   mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
                .getMap();
