android mapView errors

I do the same thing from an example, but Eclipse returns errors. Code is the following:

package hello.google.map;

import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MapsActivity extends MapActivity 
{    
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
        return false;
    }
}

Here is the errors:

*

Why? What I do wrong?

Your error log says the file name is HelloGoogleMapsActivity.java but your class name is MapsActivity. Are you sure you are doing the right thing? Try changing the class name to HelloGoogleMapsActivity or file name to MapsActivity. In both case update your manifest.

According to your link the main Activity is MapsActivity and is defined in the file MapsActivity.java. So you can cange the file name to MapsActivity.java to match the example.

use this after your setContentview in on create

    mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
    mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

and put 

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" >
 <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />


</app...>

By the looks of it there could be two things you missed. Either you forgot to add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml

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

Or, you are trying to run it on an emulator with a stock Android API instead of the special Google API version. You need this Google API version to use functions such as the map.

If you don't have it, no worries, you can download it in the SDK Manager. Afterwards simply create a new AVD and set the target to the Google API version of your targetted API level.
