Android app & GoogleMap :

Question

I got this class

public class GoogleMapActivity extends MapActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
    }
}

and I get an error in editor - "MapActivity cannot be resolvet to a type".

This tutorial says that I have to extend this particular class.

I mention that I have specified in manifest that I need google map library like this

 <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

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