Google Map API v2 inflator fails on old phones

I have just implemented a map in the application, and it runs flawlessly in a Galaxy S3. Testing my app with an old phone HTC Sense with API8 the app throws a inflator problem. I think it may be related to either the OS or OGL2. isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this) returns a correct value. Help me here, please:

Activity.java

public class MyActivity extends Activity
{
 @Override
 public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.initializeInterface();
 }

 private void initializeInterface() {
    final int available = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
    this.setContentView(R.layout.main);
 }
}

main.xml

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
    android:id="@+id/mapview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_above="@id/footer"
    android:layout_below="@id/header" />

manifest.xml

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="7"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.stuff.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

<permission
    android:name="com.stuff.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />

<uses-feature
    android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
    android:required="true" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:label="@string/application_name" >

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="@string/map_api_key_device"/>

    <activity
        android:name=".MyActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation"
        android:launchMode="singleTop"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" >
        <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> 
           <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> 
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

I solved this problem by adding the v13 libraries from /extras/android/compatibility/v13 and changing my Activity to FragmentActivity and MapFragment to SupportMapFragment.

It has to do with the fact that you are trying to use native API Level 11 fragments on an API Level 8 device. Switch to FragmentActivity and SupportMapFragment if you wish to have your code work on earlier versions than Android 3.0.
