title: How can I create an Android application in Android Studio that uses the Google Maps Api v2?
body: <p>I've been having a lot of trouble in Android Studio trying to create an app with GoogleMap. </p>
  
  <p>I have followed the following guide before with (almost) no issues using Eclipse as my IDE:</p>

  <p>I have never used Android Studio before and I'm having difficulty with the whole project/module paradigm.</p>
  
  <p>I haven't been able to successfully configure the Google Play Services SDK

  <p>Here is one of the weird errors I'm getting:</p>
  
  <pre>
  Gradle: 
  FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
  
  * What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':MyMapApp:compileDebug'.
  > Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.
  
  * Try:
  Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
