Here a blog post I wrote on how to integrate Google Maps into you application:

I assumed that you have already get Google Maps Android API v2 key and have Google Play services. If you not have already installed it then please follow below steps to solve this problem_

• Step 1. you can found it in Android SDK Manager under Extras tick check box of -Google Play services install it and after complete installation, restart your Eclipse.

• Step 2. Add library named_ google-play-services_lib found under the extras folder of your Android SDK setup folder to your Android project_

Path of google service lib_

{Your_Android_SDK_direct}\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib 

Ex. Location of this lib on My system_ 
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib 

I hope this will solve your ploblem.

Solution 3:

For me adding:

import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;

And changing the xml to

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

resolved the problem. I hope you resolve it too!

Solution 4:

Looks like you didn't add the Google Play Services library to your project.

It's located at {Android SDK}\extras\google\google_play_services

Add it as Android Library Project to Eclipse and then add it to your project.
