Here's my main java:

package com.googlemaps;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MapActivity extends FragmentActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); 
    LatLng sala = new LatLng(59.918434,16.618195);

    GoogleMap mMap;
    mMap = ((SupportMapFragment)(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(android.R.id.content))).getMap();
    mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
            .position(sala)
            .title("Här ligger sala")
            .snippet("Detta är sala")
            .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE)));
    mMap.getUiSettings().setCompassEnabled(true);
    mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
    mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(sala,10));


}

And here's my xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

<fragment 
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.supportMapFragment"

    />
</RelativeLayout>

and also my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Answer 1

setContentView(R.layout.your_xml_file);

add the above line after super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); in your onCreate() and update the result.

Answer 2

on your manifest change the name of your MapActivty. Theres a spelling mistake.

android:name="com.go8oglemaps.MapActivity"
