Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class

Question

I know similar questions like this has been answered but I seem to have done what the tutorial suggested and reading from other posts but still I get the Inflator error. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I don't see Google-Map. Please check the code. Thanks a lot.

I generate My Key with:

keytool -list -v -keystore mystore.keystore

Activity_Map.java

package pt.example.project;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;

public class Activity_Map extends FragmentActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.filexml);
    }
}

filexml.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Answer 1

    android:minSdkVersion="8"

Your min sdk is 8 you need to add support library or make your min sdk to 12

http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/support-library.html

Use SupportFragment.

 android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

Quoting from the docs

Use MapFrament class only if you are targeting API 12 and above. Otherwise, use SupportMapFragment.
