Android Maps V2 Crashing

My big project for today was migrating my app to the new Google Maps API V2. However, I am hitting an error now that I can't seem to find the root cause of.

My stack trace looks like this:

My activity class looks like this:

package com.mobile.barwatch;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.gcm.GCMRegistrar;
import com.google.android.gms.common.*;
import com.mobile.barwatch.tasks.*;
import com.mobile.barwatch.models.Constants;

public class TestActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {           
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.map_screen);              
    }
}

My layout file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:id="@+id/mapview"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
      class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

And the relevant parts of my manifest look like this:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.mobile.barwatch"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="11"
        android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
    android:required="true"/>
    <permission android:name="com.mobile.barwatch.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
            android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
    <permission android:name="com.mobile.barwatch.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
                android:protectionLevel="signature" />    
    <uses-permission android:name="com.mobile.barwatch.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="com.mobile.barwatch.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission    android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

    <application    
        android:allowBackup="true"    
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher_barwatch"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    ....
    <activity android:name="TestActivity" 
              android:label="@string/app_name">
    </activity>
    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.xx"
               android:value="xx"/>       
    </application>       
</manifest>

Im really banging my head against the wall on this one so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your LogCat showed another error like:

12-17 17:16:20.366: E/AndroidRuntime(3634): Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #2: Error inflating class fragment

and it's the clue of all problems. As you see the "class" contained in has wrong expression, but at this moment I dont know the solution.

Okay thanks to responses by A--C and qzikl I was able to find out what my problem was. When filling out my manifest, I had:

 <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.xx"
            android:value="xx"/>

where xx was my api key. In actuality, it should be:

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

So what was causing all my errors was that I was filling in API_KEY with my api key where I was only supposed to do that for the value.

The stack trace includes your answer:

12-17 17:16:20.366: E/AndroidRuntime(3634): Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: API key not found. Check that is in the element of AndroidManifest.xml

You need to get an API key and include it in your manifest. It looks like you've got something in there for that, but perhaps it was edited out?
