    Hi every one I came to know that google maps has deprecated its previous version API v1 and introduced a new version of google maps API v2. I tried out one example by following some links in google any how i am pretty sure that i got the api key correctly by providing the exact hash key code and managed to get the correct api key. Now i managed to write some code as well but when i tried to execute the code i am getting the errors please help me to solve this here is my code

    and i even tried the sample codes provided by google play services an i got the same problem

    this is the sample that i have done by referring some links in google

    main activity class

    package com.example.apv;
    
    import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
    import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
    import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
    import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory;
    import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
    import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.app.FragmentManager;
    
    public class MainActivity extends Activity 
    {
         @Override  
         protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  
             super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  
             setContentView(R.layout.main);  
    
         FragmentManager fragmentManager = getFragmentManager();  
         MapFragment mapFragment = (MapFragment)fragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map);  
         GoogleMap googleMap = mapFragment.getMap();  
         LatLng sfLatLng = new LatLng(37.7750, -122.4183);  
         googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);  
         googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sfLatLng).title("San Francisco")
                    .snippet("Population: 776733")
                .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(
         BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE)));
         googleMap.getUiSettings().setCompassEnabled(true);  
         googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);  
         googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(sfLatLng, 10))
    
            }  
    }  
    

    main.xml

                           <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
                    <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  
                              android:id="@+id/map"  
                                  android:layout_width="match_parent"  
                                      android:layout_height="match_parent"  
                                   class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>  
    

    and finally my manifest file

                               <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
                     <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

                              </manifest>  
    

    i run my application in emulator of version 4.2 and api level of 17 i got following error

    the map access permissions must begin with the name of your package. Replace <permission android:name="com.codebybrian.mapsample.permission.MAPS_RECE‌​IVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/> with <permission android:name="com.example.apv.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

    Incorrect. The Google docs for Maps explicitly state otherwise.
