There are two Maps APIs for Android.

One is Maps V1. Its classes are in the com.google.android.maps package. Maps V1 has been deprecated and should not be used for new apps.

The other is Maps V2. Its classes are in the com.google.android.gms.maps package.

You are attempting to blend both. This will not work.

I would recommend that you spend some time reading the documentation for Maps V2 and focusing on that, removing all references to Maps V1 classes from your code.
