Binary XML file line Error inflating class fragment

I haven't been working on this appliaction for a while and as far as I'm concerned it was working the last time I checked. And now after a few eclipse reinstalls etc. I get this error:

Now I can see that I need to add this to manifest file:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

But why? I never had this in manifest before and app worked great.

Now the second problem is that IF I put this in manifest file, my app still crashes but I get different kind of logcat file:

The reason for the first error is because you are using a newer version of Google Play Services API, which requires that line in the XML.

The second error is because one of your variables is null at line 443 in your class MainActivity. You can read the question about What is a Null Pointer Exception? if you are unsure what a NullPointerException is and how to solve it.
