Google Maps v2 Expected 4030500 found 0 exception

Question

I´ve looked at several posts of this poblem but I cannot fix it.

I get this error when I try to run my MapView

 12-03 10:26:20.865: E/AndroidRuntime(3317): java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-    
data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value.
  Expected 4030500 but found 0.  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" />

I´ve added this to my manifest

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

I´ve also tried this

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.gms.version"
    android:value="4030500"
/>

Manifest in google play services lib:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.google.android.gms"
    android:versionCode="4030530"
    android:versionName="4.0.30 (889083-30)" >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8"/>
</manifest>

And I have no idea why it won´t work for me.

I´m using a HTC Sensation android 4.0.3 version as my emulator.

Answer 1

you should put meta datas in the manifest file ,after the end of activity and before closing application

< /activity>

        <meta-data 
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="your key from google developers console" />

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

and dont forget to import google-play-services_lib in your workspace
