}

I really want to understand what I am doing wrong that way i can actually learn to solve these kinds of things by myself.

Answer 1

In Manifest we require only the following things to show google map:

<manifest ….>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
      <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />

      <application ….>
          <activity … />
          <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
          <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="your api key" />
      </application>

      <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" />

</manifest>

Change your fragment tag as:

   <fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

Clean your project and run.

Answer 2

Typo in manifest file:

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

Change verson to version.
