SupportMapFragment not found

Question

I am trying to get Google Maps Android API v2 working on Android 2.2 on a HTC Desire.

My main.xml contains the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="dk.sw510e13.user"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="16" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <activity
            android:name="dk.sw510e13.user.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

This is my activity.

package dk.sw510e13.user;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.view.Menu;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

When I run the application, I will get the following exception. It seems that it cannot find SupportMapFragment, however, I believe that I have both the support library and Google Play Services as dependencies. When creating the project in Android Studio I chose to add support for fragments.

This is what I have in my dependencies.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

UPDATE

This is my manifest.

This is the problem that seems to be occurred when missing Google Play services.

I request you to please follow the steps mentioned below to get the Google Play services to be included in your application.

copying the google-play-services.jar in libs folder and set in the build path of eclipse is a wrong method.

1. import Google Play services in your project and add it in workspace. from location of your SDK folder.

\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib

2! Now you added Google Play Services to your work space, we have to create a reference from our project to this library. Right-Click your project and choose “Properties” go to the Android section, in the lower part press the “Add…” button and add a reference to that library. Your result should be as in the screen shot bellow:

adding Google Play services library

Please Add

<permission
        android:name="com.anchit.locationapi.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
        android:protectionLevel="signature" />

in your manifest
