I'm using google play services r14 and couldn't able to run the app on any device.

Done all settings for google play services. Does these error occurs because of google play service version? If this is the reason, how to change google play service revision 14 to 10? Any Solutions?

  • post you manifest.xml Commented Jan 23, 2014 at 7:06
  • Post your MainActivity Commented Jan 23, 2014 at 7:07
  • Does google play service revision 14 makes any cause? Commented Jan 23, 2014 at 7:09
  • I don't think. You have null reference in your MainActivity.java:25 Commented Jan 23, 2014 at 7:10
  • mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE); this code is at line 25 Commented Jan 23, 2014 at 7:15

Your mMap is null. Try to use SupportMapFragment in layout and use getSupportFragmentManager() in code, like this:

 <fragment android:id="@+id/map" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/> 

and this code:

 mMap = ((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager() .findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

Thanks, updated that info - was still getting the error - it turns out to be that am referring to Google Play services r14 - trying to download r10 or r12
it starts to work after changing google play service from r14 to r10 and restarting device also.
It's absolutely strange. Does it means that google play service r14 have some problems? What do you think?

In your Android Manifest you have not specified

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> 

use android:name instead of android:class.Thus change the fragment in your layout as below

<fragment android:id="@+id/map" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/> 

and use this in your java file to define mMap

 mMap = ((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager() .findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
