title: Google Maps Android API v2 tutorial
body: <p>I'm working on the tutorial for Google Maps Android API v2 at : <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm only trying to get a simple map shown in my app, yet it's not working (the app doesn't open, and there's a message box with "The "Test2" application has stopped.") and I don't know why. I followed exactly what was said in the tutorial.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my code :</p>
  
  <p>AndroidManifest.xml :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;

                  &lt;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /&gt;
              &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
          &lt;/activity&gt;
  
          &lt;meta-data
          android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
          android:value="The key"/&gt;
      &lt;/application&gt;
  
  &lt;/manifest&gt;

          // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.

  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
