  <p>I was doing this project for weeks. Yesterday i decided to map so i changed dependency</p>
  
  <pre><code>dependencies {
  compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
  testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0'
  compile project(':jsoup-1.8.3')
  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.3.0'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>}</p>
  
  <p>Probably i wont need any location service or some others so i decided to use only maps so i added only maps as service.</p>
