this is my MainActivity.java file

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

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

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

this is my manifest

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

    package="com.example.easytaxi"
    android:versionCode="1"

    <application

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <meta-data

            android:value="My API Key" />
    </application>

</manifest>

and this is my activity_main.xml layout

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

also i'm running it on my phone not on emulator and i have already installed google play service so i don't know where i'm making a mistake.Thanks in advance.

I am no Android dev, but it looks like you are missing a class in your classpath: android.view.fragment in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader — CodeChimp, May 22 '13 at 17:39
Please refer my [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/15089772/1278196) — moDev, May 22 '13 at 17:58
Before the problem was Google Play Service after installing it this problem appeared also i'm just following this [link](http://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start#installing_the_google_maps_android_v2_api) and doing what it does — Namiq Tahmazli, May 22 '13 at 17:59
I have imported \extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib and changed MapFragment to SupportMapFragment.My phone's android version is 2.3.6.I have also changed target version to 11 again I get force close — Namiq Tahmazli, May 22 '13 at 18:09
Again the same error what i showed above i don't know where i'm making a mistake — Namiq Tahmazli, May 22 '13 at 18:22

t looks you have missed to import the project from \extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib.

Add it as library to your current project.

Make sure you have used SupportMapFragment for API below 11.

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