mapview using api v2 key

I am using mapview in layout and api v2 key but map is not displayed. My question is...Can I use v2
key in mapview or I will have to use mapfragment.

main.xml

<RelativeLayout 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<com.google.android.maps.MapView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/map_view"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:clickable="true" 
    android:enabled="true" 
    android:apiKey="my_apikey" />

</RelativeLayout>

manifest.xml

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

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

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

    <activity android:name="com.example.fpa.GMapsActivity"
              android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

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

    </application>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

</manifest>

The map that you're using com.google.android.maps.MapView is a v1 of Google Map API. Unfortunately, it is officially deprecated.

You should use the new version of Google Maps API which is Version 2

My question is...Can I use v2 key in mapview?

Maps V1 key depends on MD5 key (If I'm not mistaken) while V2 depends on SHA1 Key. Therefore, you cannot use that.

I will have to use mapfragment

Well, why not?

Here's a tutorial for Google Map V2
