Google Maps v2 in a Android Studio app requires Google Play Services update even though it is up-to date

Question

I have a navigation drawer with fragments for each page. And in one of my fragments i want to display a mapview. But not in full screen, i want it to be like the top half of screen and below that i will give some contact information for a specific coordinate. I tried too many tutorial but i couldn't get this working.

The Page XML which Map is supposed to be displayed

<?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="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@drawable/map_background"
tools:context="com.corvega.ztbb.IletisimFragment">

<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/ContactMapView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Behind the Map's page JAVA

public class IletisimFragment extends Fragment {
public MapView mapView;
private static GoogleMap googleMap;

public IletisimFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_iletisim, container, false);

    if (googleMap != null)
        setUpMap();
    if (googleMap == null)
    {
        googleMap = ((MapFragment)MainActivity.fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.ContactMapView)).getMap();
        if (googleMap != null)
        {
            setUpMap();
        }
    }

    return rootView;
}

private static void setUpMap()
{
    googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(41.009471, 28.916134)).title("baslik"));
    googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(41.009471, 28.916134), 12.0f));
}

@Override
public void onDestroyView()
{
    super.onDestroyView();
    if (googleMap != null)
    {
        MainActivity.fragmentManager.beginTransaction()
                .remove(MainActivity.fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.ContactMapView))
                .commit();
        googleMap = null;
    }
}

}

dependencies in Build.Gradle

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:20.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.2.08'
}

However my final result is this. I am sure that Google Play Services is up-to date on the phone. So do you have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Change your gradle file to

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.89' 

unless if you're targeting L Preview
