Answer 1

check your dependencies versions, you must have compatible versions put attention specially to com.google packages, must have same version like:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.3.0'

Both are 8.3.0, if you have another version compilation will throw that exception.
