Android Google Map Addon not available?

dear friends,

i am trying to display google map on Android refering to this tutorial http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.html when i go to google website to download addon it says addons are not available kindly guide what should i do to achieve this??

+3 A:

If you read the Add-on page more carefully you'll see this:

The Google APIs add-on is not yet available for download. For your convenience, the Google APIs add-on is available preinstalled in the Android SDK.

So you should already have the Google APIs add-on already if you've installed the Android SDK.

To check, run the android command with no options at a command prompt to open the Android SDK and AVD Manager GUI. Check Installed Packages to confirm that Google APIs is listed:

If it's not listed use the Available Packages option to install it.

If you're using Eclipse, you also need to edit the Properties of your Project and select the correct Build Target:

You'll need to use the one which matches the level for your application. Or more specifically, the one which matches the `android:minSdkVersion` attribute in your `AndroidManifest.xml` file.

ok thanks for reply in minsdkversion written 6 and i have downloaded 7 is there any problem if i use this one???

Yes, this will be a problem. minSdkVersion = 6 means your application is supported on Android 2.0.1 and above; the Google APIs you've downloaded are only supported on 2.1 and above.

The Documents also says that you need to update your **Build Target**. Have you done this? I've added this to the answer above.
