what is the problem ???

update

the code for MapActivity class :

package pit.opensource.mapapp;


import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;

public class M1MapAppActivity extends MapActivity {

    private MapController mapController;
    private MapView mapView;
    private LocationManager locationManager;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
        super.onCreate(bundle);
        setContentView(R.layout.main); // bind the layout to the activity

        // Configure the Map
        mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
        mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        mapView.setSatellite(true);
        mapController = mapView.getController();
        mapController.setZoom(14); // Zoon 1 is world view
        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0,
                0, new GeoUpdateHandler());

        myLocationOverlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mapView);
        mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocationOverlay);

        myLocationOverlay.runOnFirstFix(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                mapView.getController().animateTo(
                        myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation());

        });

        Drawable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.point);
        itemizedoverlay = new MyOverlays(this, drawable);
        createMarker();
    }

    @Override

        return false;
    }

            GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(lat, lng);
            createMarker();
            mapController.animateTo(point); // mapController.setCenter(point);

        }

        @Override
        public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
        }

        @Override

        OverlayItem overlayitem = new OverlayItem(p, "", "");
        itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem);
        if (itemizedoverlay.size() > 0) {
            mapView.getOverlays().add(itemizedoverlay);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        myLocationOverlay.enableMyLocation();
        myLocationOverlay.enableCompass();
    }

    @Override

        super.onResume();
        myLocationOverlay.disableMyLocation();
        myLocationOverlay.disableCompass();
    }
}

Answer 1

add in your Manifest
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
in the <application> </application> Tag

this gonna solve your class not found exception.
