Error inflating class fragment while implementing maps v2

I am trying to add google map v2 and here is the main layout xml:

<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" >

<com.test.map.CustomAutoCompleteTextView
    android:id="@+id/atv_places"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:hint="@string/str_atv_places"
    android:singleLine="true" />

<fragment 
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" 
    android:layout_below="@id/atv_places" />

Here is my manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.test.map"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="4"
    android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

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

<permission
    android:name="com.test.map.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />

<uses-permission android:name="com.test.map.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />

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

<uses-feature
    android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
    android:required="true" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name="com.test.map.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="mykey" />
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

I have imported the play services library project and a copy of it in workspace

The above steps are taken from documentations provided by google. Now that, everything seems to be perfect and in place, I get the following exception:

Logcat is saying the following tag is missing, though I have it in my manifest. 

02-09 11:39:30.227: E/AndroidRuntime(5153): Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException:   A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"  android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Why I get this issue though everything is in place? Any help is appreciated.

Could you please use FrameLayout instead of Fragment in the layout file. Then create an instance of supportmapfragment in code and replace the FrameLayout with this fragment. It will solve your issue.

XML:

<FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

In Code:

FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment =  SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.map, supportMapFragment).commit();

The meta-data tag must be a child of the application tag:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="mykey" />
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
    <activity ....

Don't forget to check your capitalization.

02-09 11:39:30.227: E/AndroidRuntime(5153): Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #15: Error inflating class fragment

Looks like you forgot to capatalize the Fragment class name.

<Fragment 
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"        
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" 
    android:layout_below="@id/atv_places" />
