what is your question?? just posting logcat how on earth are we supposed to help you?? — Illegal Argument, Nov 30 '13 at 12:51
just a guess maybe you are extending Activity instead of fragmentactivity — Illegal Argument, Nov 30 '13 at 12:52
i was editing my question during that unfortunately got a hand on "enter" button please review question now — Muhammad Usman, Nov 30 '13 at 13:23
In the logcat, there should be another "caused by" exception below the one you posted. Please include it in the question. — laalto, Dec 01 '13 at 10:21
Thanks a lot @laalto i got the problem that was a permission problem that I spotted with the point u raised, i.e. in the Logcat under the "caused by" section. . . Thanks a lot again — Muhammad Usman, Dec 01 '13 at 18:23

Your Java code seems to be correct. Try to remove the implements onClickListener and onClick method just for a try. Your manifest needs some changing. I suggest adding these elements:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

<permission
    android:name="com.nurakanbpo.mygenie.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />

<uses-permission android:name="com.nurakanbpo.mygenie.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

Your minSdkVersion is 13 for which you dont need supportmapfragment. You can use mapfragment. Also since revision 13 of google play services was released you need to add this element to your you application tag:

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

Thanks it helped, I removed mMap.setOnMapClickListener(this);. . . Can you please tell me why this is not working — Muhammad Usman, Nov 30 '13 at 15:02
As I told you your java code seems fine but have a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14013002/google-maps-android-api-v2-detect-touch-on-map — Illegal Argument, Dec 01 '13 at 06:34
