I am following Google Maps Android API v2 setup guide and I did everything in the guide but the things don't seem to work and I get "The application mapdemo (process com.example.mapdemo) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I have wasted 1 whole day and still cannot find a solution. :(
My Manifest file is:

The error is so frustrating. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
The error says that the class is not found. There seems to be an issue with the way you added google-play-services project(support libray), if at all you did. Checkout:
Error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment in Google Map V2
Unable instantiate android.gms.maps.MapFragment
java.lang.noclassdeffounderror: com.google.android.gms.R$styleable nothing helped me
They talk about similar issue. Hope it helps.
