Google maps app inflation exception - google-maps

Question

I keep getting errors while accessing the maps part of my app
I included the google play services dependency in my app is there any other library i need to include in it? How do I add the library? All tutorials on the internet use older verions of android studio while I use the latest one.
enter code here
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
"java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity
ComponentInfo{com.zeda.TaxiTown/com.zeda.TaxiTown.map}:
android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #18: Error inflating class fragment"
in my android maps application what does this mean?
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- This can go anywhere in your layout (see other demos for some examples). -->
<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.SupportMapFragment"/>
JAVA file has this in it
package com.zeda.TaxiTown;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
public class map extends ActionBarActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.map, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}

I switched to using MapView instead and it worked!
