Answer 1

Try to add <meta-data> tag under <application> tag in your manifest.xml file like

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

Make your manifest.xml like this

....<application>
 ..............
  <meta-data
   android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="Key" />

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

   </application>

and give me feedback on this
