application crashes when an activity starts

Question

Im creating an application in which I have to show map when the button is clicked. But when the map button is clicked instead of showing map the application crash and it said "Unfortunately, 'Application' has stopped" here is my code:

java file:

package com.example.jamaattiming;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
//import android.app.FragmentTransaction;
import android.view.Menu;
import com.example.jamaat_times.R;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
//import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;

public class TagYourself extends Activity {

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

        /* MapFragment mMapFragment = MapFragment.newInstance();
         FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =
                 getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
         fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.map, mMapFragment);
         fragmentTransaction.commit();

         GoogleMap maps;
         maps=(((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap());*/


    }

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

}

here's the xml file:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

Answer 1

Take a look at this line of your logcat:

 Caused by:
java.lang.SecurityException: The Maps API requires the additional following permissions to be set in the AndroidManifest.xml to ensure a correct behavior: 04-01 00:32:39.709: 
E/AndroidRuntime(18546): <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> 04-01 00:32:39.709: E/AndroidRuntime(18546):   at maps.e.ci.a(Unknown Source)

Looks like you forgot to add the permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

to your AndroidManifest xml file
