I am going through the video tutorial at O'Reilly video training course "Developing Android Applications with Java" by Tony Hillerson. He mentioned that I must build my app against the "Google APIs" rather than the standard Android 1.6 API to use the Google Maps API for my app. I need this in order to import "com.google.android.maps.MapActivity" in my application class.

Problem is: I can't find this "Google APIs" anywhere under the latest Android SDK manager.

Where can I find this "Google APIs" for Android 1.6? Please assist.

Use SDK 2.1-update minimum. Personally, I use 2.2 most of the time, but 2.1-update will support pretty much every phone out there.

You should be able to install it from the ADT plugin from inside Eclipse or externally from SDK Manager
