Add reference library google-play-services.jar to project using MapFragment and SupportMapFragment

To use MapFragment or SupportMapFragment on your Android App, you have to add reference library google-play-services.jar to your project. Otherwise, ClassNotFoundException will be thrown caused by com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment or com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment.

To add reference library google-play-services.jar:

- Right click on your project, select Properties.


- Select Android on the left selection, scroll down to the Library at right, and click Add.

- Select google-play-services_lib and click OK.

- Apply and click OK.

    I does not work with Google Play services v6 (latest), you have to do it with v4. At least when using an Emulator.

    Hey, I am referencing that library, but once I run the app on emulator the same ClassNotFoundException is found, and when I go back to my reference the library is marked with a "X"(red) and not a TICK(green)
