Solution

Your logcat clearly said:

 Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: The Maps API requires the additional following permissions to be set in the AndroidManifest.xml to 

 ensure a correct behavior: 03-10 16:17:37.977: E/AndroidRuntime(24296): 
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

You need to add this permission in your manifest.xml

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
