The meta-data tag does not have right value

I am newer in 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"?>

Your metadata tag is inside the < activity> tag. Remove and place it right 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

Illegal Argument


Your logcat clearly said:

idRuntime(5932): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's 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 Google Play Services Version as <meta-data> tag under <application> tag in your manifest.xml

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