Answer 1

You should use SupportMapFragment instead of MapFragment.

Change

to

Also change

   _googleMap=((MapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

to

_googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
        R.id.map)).getMap(); 

And also If you're using fragments on older devices (pre Honeycomb) you should always extend your Activity from FragmentActivity.

and also check

Add the Google Play services version to your app's manifest

Edit your application's AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the following declaration within the element. This embeds the version of Google Play services that the app was compiled with.

You just need to add under tag into your AndroidManifest.xml

....

This is because latest google play services requires a version name, which is to be mentioned using inside AndroidManifest.xml
