Android Question Google Play Services

Hi
I need advise again please.
I am trying to use the Google Map in my Survey application, but keep on getting this error message when I want to access the Map in my application:

com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesMissingManifestValueException: A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@Integer/google_play_services_version" />

But it is in my AndroidManifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Any advise please?
