instead of using com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment use com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment and for the Activity it will have to switched to be FragmentActivity as mentioned in the comment below

For earlier APIs, you need to use SupportmapFragment. See the SupportMapFragment docs, Basically use class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" instead of class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"

   a)..\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services_froyo\libproject\google-play-services_lib

   b)..\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib

if you'r working on android 2.3 try having the first one a as a library project (you will first need to import it as a library project File>import>................)
