I am trying to run a basic example of Google maps API v2 from http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidGoogleMaps/article.html but it keeps crashing with an error:

of ran it on an AVD with target Google API 17, it crashes immediately.
I noticed you have not added protection for Google Play Services, the Google Maps V2 api requires this to run.
The issue maybe due to Google Play Services not being supported on AVD. Try running on a device.
maybe these can help
Missing Google Play Services from AVD
