Solution

  • It was very difficult to find the solution because Logcat said something else. Finally I found the solution for my above query.

    The issue was in my package name: I had set the first character of the package name to a capital letter like Chintan.Khetiya.Package.

    Generally, that was working for me in my older project, but when I tried to implement Google Maps code in my existing project, then the Manifest File is not allowed to use a capital letter in the package name.

    So, finally I replaced it with lowercase characters like chinta.khetiya.package, and updated my new Google Maps Key with the new package name.

    Now it's working.

    So be careful when you set your package name. See more here.
