Another Google maps v2 Failed to inflate PLEASE [duplicate]-Collection of common programming errors

i know there was a bunch of posts about this but i just can’t get my google maps to work. I have tried million different ways to get this and i found that the best way is like this:

MainActivity.java

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.activity_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.activity_main, menu);
    return true;
}

}

activity_main.xml



    


Manifest.xml




    

    

    

    
    
    
    
    


    

    
        
            
                

                
            
        


                

    


But i still get this error that lots of people are getting 🙁 And i implemented google-play-services_lib
