Android View InflateException error

So, I'm having a lot of trouble with the android.view.InflateException and I'm not entirely sure why. it happens when I try to load a Google Maps Fragment.

any ideas/help with this error would be greatly appreciated.

         The API key for Google Maps-based APIs is defined as a string resource.
         (See the file "res/values/google_maps_api.xml").
         Note that the API key is linked to the encryption key used to sign the APK.
         You need a different API key for each encryption key, including the release key that is used to
         sign the APK for publishing.
         You can define the keys for the debug and release targets in src/debug/ and src/release/.

Your api key is not set up correctly, as you can see in the logs:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: API key not found.  Check that <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="your API key"/> is in the <application> element of AndroidManifest.xml

First, change to the new format for the API key reference in the manifest.

Change this:

    <meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.V2.API_KEY"
    android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />

To this:

    <meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
    android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />

Note that if you haven't done so already, you'll need to use keytool in order to get the SHA1 fingerprint for both your debug keystore, and the release keystore, and also set up the API key on the Developer Console.

For info on getting SHA1 fingerprints from the debug/release keystores, see here.

You will use these SHA1 fingerprints in the API key on the Developer Console:

enter image description here

Once you have your API key set up, put it in "@string/google_maps_key", and you're all set.
