Hello it's a compatibility error at :

E/AndroidRuntime(6549): Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: android.view.fragment in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/com.gaditek.ihistro-1.apk] 06-01 18:26:16.546:

You'r trying to use Fragment in your code but to make Fragments works on Gingerbread and under, you have to import a compatibility library from Google : Look here for the Android Support Library and this Answer.

So make sure to turn your Activity into FragmentActivity and to use getSupportFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager()

 public void addFragment(Fragment fragment, boolean addToBackStack,int transition) 
        {   
            FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
            ft.replace(R.id.simple_fragment, fragment, null);
            ft.setTransition(transition);
            if (addToBackStack)
                ft.addToBackStack(null);
            ft.commit();
        }

I am facing issue on start activity .. i-e PerxDetailedActivity which contian another fragment of map v2 library – Furqan Jun 01 '13 at 14:48
Yeah it's normal, but the Error is not always located at the first line. You have to add the [Android Support Library](http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/support-library.html) to make your app works on Gingerbread. – Glenn Sonna Jun 01 '13 at 15:06
yes whole application is using fragments and is working fine except for this part .... when I need to open a new activity – Furqan Jun 01 '13 at 15:12
Update your post with Edited code (and the imports). Make sure to turn all your `Activiy` into `FragmentActivity` – Glenn Sonna Jun 01 '13 at 15:21

I just figured out stupid me the problem lies here

map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

it should be

map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

also as stated by @Glenn activity needs to be extended by FragmentActivity instead Activity .. hence resolved
