Android - Google MAP V2 PART 2



Before do this check part 1

Note : I have to run this in API 8 to API 17 that why i have used ActionBarSherlock support library. if you don't want that then replace it. 
In main Activity i have added following code.

 package com.djandroid.mapsv2;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;  
 import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragmentActivity;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;  
 public class MainActivity extends SherlockFragmentActivity {  
      private GoogleMap MAP;  
      @Override  
      protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {  
           // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
           setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock);  
           super.onCreate(arg0);  
           setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
           FragmentManager myFM = getSupportFragmentManager();  
           SupportMapFragment myMAPF = (SupportMapFragment) myFM  
                     .findFragmentById(R.id.fragment1);  
           MAP = myMAPF.getMap();  
           MAP.setMyLocationEnabled(true);  
           MAP.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);  
           MAP.setOnMapClickListener(new OnMapClickListener() {  
                @Override  
                public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {  
                     // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
                     MAP.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(point).title(  
                               point.toString()));  
                }  
           });  
      }  
 }

Without ActionBarsharelock:


 

 package com.djandroid.mapsv2;  
 import android.os.Bundle;  
 import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;  
 import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker;  
 import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;  
 public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {  
      private GoogleMap MAP;  
      @Override  
      protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {  
           // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
           // setTheme(R.style.Theme_Sherlock);  
           super.onCreate(arg0);  
           setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);  
           FragmentManager myFM = getSupportFragmentManager();  
           SupportMapFragment myMAPF = (SupportMapFragment) myFM  
                     .findFragmentById(R.id.fragment1);  
           MAP = myMAPF.getMap();  
           MAP.setMyLocationEnabled(true);  
           MAP.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);  
           MAP.setOnMapClickListener(new OnMapClickListener() {  
                @Override  
                public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {  
                     // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
                     MAP.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(point).title(  
                               point.toString()));  
                }  
           });  
      }  
 }

You have to test the application on a real device as the emulator is not supported.
Enjoy....

Related Errors:

If we not add this in manifest:


 <uses-feature  
     android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"  
     android:required="true" />


Then error is : java.lang.RuntimeException: Google Maps Android API only supports OpenGL ES 2.0 andabove. Please add <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true" /> into AndroidManifest.xml

 
 <meta-data  
       android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"  
       android:value="API_KEY" />

then error is : java.lang.RuntimeException: API key not found.  Check that <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="your API key"/> is in the <application> element of AndroidManifest.xml

      in your fargment you have write: supportmapfragment then in your activity you have to use supportmapfragment

      or

      if you have use mapfragment then you have to use mapfragment in activity

      i think this is your issue otherwise send me your code..

Why Domain-Specific AI Agents Beat One Big Agent

Everyone is building agents right now. Real estate firms. Independent insurance brokers. Fortune 500 companies with budgets big enough to hire an army of consultants. Ask around and you'll hear the same story everywhere: "we're building our own agent." And yet almost nobody is asking the obvious question: why does the default approach keep failing? One large, general-purpose agent gets wired up to every tool the business owns. It impresses in the demo. Then it quietly stalls before production. There's a gap between what businesses want and what they're actually getting. They want AI woven into their data, their workflows, their day-to-day operations. What they get instead is one oversized agent trying to be a sales rep, a compliance officer, and a customer support line, all at once. That gap is an architecture problem, not a model problem. Key Takeaways The default "one big agent" pattern breaks down on context bloat, cost, fragility, and portability...

Don't Ship AI Agent Skills Without Evals

At the AI Engineer World's Fair on July 1, 2026, Philipp Schmid, a Staff Engineer on the Gemini API and agents team at Google DeepMind, asked a room full of engineers a simple question: who uses skills with their coding agents? Every hand went up. Who has evals for those skills? Almost none. That gap is the entire talk, which Schmid also wrote up on his own blog, philschmid.de/testing-skills . His team indexed the skills ecosystem through SkillsBench and found the same pattern everywhere: people ship a SKILL.md file after two manual test runs and move on. It looks fine in a demo. It quietly corrupts outputs in production, because bad skills don't crash. They just make the agent confidently wrong. If you've already read our breakdown of Matt Pocock's Claude Code skills library , think of this as the other half of that story: what happens once you've installed a skill and it's actually running against real prompts. Key Takeaways SkillsBench indexed 47,000+ un...

Connecting mysql Database in ANDROID using PHP & JSON

 To implement this tutorial you should have basic knowledge of how to run PHP script and start server.  If we talk about client-server architecture, client is Android device and in server side there is a combination of PHP Script and MySQL. In short, PHP Script sits in middle as shown in image. Lets suppose that we have a MySQL database named Employee, and a table int created, with the following SQL: CREATE TABLE `employee` (   `emp_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,   `emp_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,   PRIMARY KEY  (`emp_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ; The PHP code will be very simple: Now Create Android Project :  The Android part is only a bit more complicated: -use a HttpPost to get the data -convert response to string -parse JSON data in to List In Your First Activity : O/P :
