Metadata tag not valid

I am new to android, I am trying to use Google Maps in my application using google play services, getting errors.

MapViewActivty:

public class MapsViewActivity extends FragmentActivity { // Google Map private GoogleMap googleMap; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.maps); try { // Loading map initilizeMap(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } /** * function to load map. If map is not created it will create it for you * */ private void initilizeMap() { if (googleMap == null) { googleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById( R.id.map)).getMap(); // check if map is created successfully or not if (googleMap == null) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT) .show(); } }

maps.xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <fragment android:id="@+id/map" android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />

manifest.xml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.careandcure" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="18" /> <permission android:name="com.example.careandcure.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature" /> <uses-permission android:name="com.example.careandcure.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/logo" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <activity android:name="com.example.careandcure.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name="com.example.careandcure.MapsViewActivity" > </activity> <activity android:name="com.example.careandcure.MySearchAbleActivity" android:launchMode="singleTop" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEARCH" /> </intent-filter> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="AIzaSyBOhdOOMI_ZMYlvSyi7DVeRe_bo9ckxehM" /> <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@layout/searchable" /> </activity> <!-- declare the default searchable Activity for the whole app --> <meta-data android:name="android.app.default_searchable" android:value=".MySearchAbleActivity" /> </application> </manifest>

and get the following errors:

 08-06 11:34:28.256: E/AndroidRuntime(5932): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.careandcure/com.example.careandcure.MapsViewActivity}: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #6: Error inflating class fragment 08-06 11:34:28.256: E/AndroidRuntime(5932): Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #6: Error inflating class fragment 08-06 11:34:28.256: E/AndroidRuntime(5932): at android.view.LayoutInflater.createViewFromTag(LayoutInflater.java:697) 08-06 11:34:28.256: E/AndroidRuntime(5932): at com.example.careandcure.MapsViewActivity.onCreate(MapsViewActivity.java:17) 08-06 11:34:28.256: E/AndroidRuntime(5932): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value.

I do not understand where I am mistaken or something is missing, and how to remove, please help me in solving this problem. Thanks in advance.

Your metadata tag is inside the <activity> . Remove and place it immediately after the application tag:

 <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/logo" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="AIzaSyBOhdOOMI_ZMYlvSyi7DVeRe_bo9ckxehM" /> <meta-data android:name="android.app.searchable" android:resource="@layout/searchable" /> <activity>//not activity tags

Your trap clearly said:

 idRuntime(5932): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 5089000 but found 0. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" /> 08-06 11:34:28.256: E/AndroidRuntime(5932): at com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil.A(Unknown Source)

You need to add the version of Google Play Services as the <meta-data> tag in the <application> in manifest.xml

  <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
