Answer 1

It’s called “Google APIs by Google Inc.”. Ensure you have that item installed for the Android API level you are using.

Also, in Eclipse make sure you are using the “Google APIs” version of the SDK. Right click your project, select properties, and under the Android tab set your project build target to “Google APIs” for the API level you need to use.
