I solved this error by checking the package name in manifest and app build gradle   In manifest   I am using a package name as   com app triapp   In app build gradle    defaultConfig            applicationId  com app live          After changed to com app triapp in build gradle  solved my issue

Make sure Maps SDK for Android is enabled in API console  Also you might need to add your package name and SHA-1 signing-certificate fingerprint to restrict usage for your key to be fully enabled

I had same issue but it turned out that it was because I created two different map API keys with same SHA-1 fingerprint with nearly similar package name com bla bla and the other com bla bla something

I had the same issue  After about two hours of googling  retries  regenerating API Key many times  etc  i discovered that i enabled the wrong service in the Google APis Console   I enabled Google Maps API v2 Service  but for Android Apps you have to use Google Maps Android API v2  After enabling the right service all started working

java lang NoClassDefFoundError  com google android gms R styleable   A had this error too  you need to  File -  import -  Existing Android Code Into Workspace -  Browse -  Android sdks -  extras -  google -  google play services -  lib project -  google play services lib and OK  Check the project and Finish   The project goes to Package Explorer  Now go to your project  with error  -  properties -  Android and in Library click Add    the google play services lib should be there  add and try again

YOUR ECLIPSE MAYBE CHANGED SHA1 KEY  so you must regen your google key with new SHA1 key in here  https   console developers google com project watchful-net-796 apiui credential After that  copy new key into manifest and reload this google page some times  and your key will be updated  rebuild your project  it will work  P S  For my error  I deleted  android folder so eclipse regen SHA1

Today I faced with this problem  I used Android Studio 2 1 3  windows 10  While debugging it works fine  but if I update to release mode it does not work  I cleared all proguard conditions  updated  but this was not solution    The solution is related with project structure  The google maps api xml file was different between app src debug res and app src release res  I did manual copy paste from debug to release folder    Now it works

You need to use the library project located at  ANDROID-SDK-DIRECTORY extras google google play services libproject  This will fix your first issue   I m not sure about your second  but it may be a side effect of the first   I am still trying to get the map working in my own app

I am migrating from V1 to V2 of Google Maps   I was getting this failure trying to run the app via Eclipse   The root cause for me was using my release certificate keystore rather than the Android debug keystore which is what gets used when you run it via Eclipse   The following command  OSX Linux  will get you the SHA1 key of the debug keystore   keytool -list -v -keystore    android debug keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android   If you are using Windows 7 instead  you would use this command   keytool -list -v -keystore   USERPROFILE   android debug keystore  -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android   It is probably best to uninstall your app completely from your device before trying with a new key as Android caches the security credentials

Also check this post  Google Map Android Api V2 Sample Code not working  if you are completely sure you did the right steps then follow the second answer  the authentication gets cached somewhere  try to uninstall the application manually  just like you do with a normal application  then  Run  again the project

Since I just wasted a lot of time getting the API to work  I will try to give a step-by-step validation for the Map API v2   Step 1  Apply for your API key   If you are unfamiliar with the Google API console  read the very good answer of Rusfearuth above   Step 2  Check you SHA Hash  in this case I use the debug key of eclipse     On a Windows machine got to your user directory on a command prompt   C  Users you gt keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore  android debug keyst ore -storepass android -keypass android   You will get something like   androiddebugkey  15 10 2012  PrivateKeyEntry  Zertifikat-Fingerprint  SHA1   66 XX 47 XX 1E XX FE XX DE XX EF XX 98 XX 83 XX 9A XX 23 A6   Then look at your package name of the map activity  e g       com example mypackagename  You combine this and check that with your settings in the Google API console   66 XX 47 XX 1E XX FE XX DE XX EF XX 98 XX 83 XX 9A XX 23 A6 com example mypackagename   where you get your API-key   AZzaSyDhkhNotUseFullKey49ylKD2bw1HM   Step 3  Manifest meta data  Check if the meta-data are present and contain the right key  If you release your app  you need a different key        lt meta-data         android name  com google android maps v2 API KEY          android value  AZzaSyDhkhNotUseFullKey49ylKD2bw1HM    gt       lt meta-data         android name  com google android gms version          android value   integer google play services version    gt    Step 4  Manifest features   You need this entry as the map API requires some grapics support    lt uses-feature     android glEsVersion  0x00020000      android required  true    gt    Do not worry  99 7  of devices support this   Step 5  Manifest library   Add the google library        lt uses-library         android name  com google android maps          android required  false    gt     This is required if you want your app to start in the emulator  I set it to false also if map is not an essential part of the application    Step 6  Manifest permissions   Check the package name twice  com example yourpackage   lt permission     android name  com example yourpackage permission MAPS RECEIVE      android protectionLevel  signature    gt   lt uses-permission android name  com example yourpackage permission MAPS RECEIVE    gt    Add the following permissions    lt uses-permission android name  android permission INTERNET    gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE    gt   lt uses-permission android name  com google android providers gsf permission READ GSERVICES    gt    The following permissions are optional and not required if you just show a map  Try to not use them    lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS COARSE LOCATION   gt   lt uses-permission android name  android permission ACCESS FINE LOCATION   gt    Step 7  Include the map fragment into your layout    lt fragment     android id    id map      android layout width  match parent      android layout height  0dp      android layout weight  1      class  com google android gms maps SupportMapFragment      map cameraTargetLat  47 621120      map cameraTargetLng  -122 349594      map cameraZoom  15    gt    If your release to 2 x Android versions you need to add support in your Activity   import android support v4 app FragmentActivity    For the map  entries to work include  xmlns map  http   schemas android com apk res-auto    in your activity layout  e g  LinearLayout    In my case I have to clean the project each time I change something in the layout  Seems to be a bug   Step 8  Use Eclipse - Project - Clean   Enjoy

I followed the same step provided in the Google Doc but i was getting the same error  Later i realized that i was signing my app with my app keystore and the SHA key that i was using to generate the API key was the debug one    So i simply removed the signingConfig signingConfig generic from by build gradle file and my map started to work fine   Hope this helps someone

For me  everything was working both in an emulator and on a physical device   However  it stopped working for me when I set up a second machine to debug the same app in an emulator with a newer API level   I did not realize that the fingerprint for that machine changed  After seeing the authentication failure error log in the Device Log I closely compared the fingerprint in my Google Developer Console with the one in the error message  That s when I saw the difference  After adding the new fingerprint to the Developer Console  in combination with the package name  my app started working as expected in the emulator on the new system    So if you set up a new system  check your fingerprints again

I followed most  if not all  of Gunnar Bernstein s suggestions mentioned above and it still didn t work  However  it started to work after I followed his suggestions AND the following    I created a new MapActivity by using Android Studio s right click list of options  New -  Google -  Google Maps Activity I then opened the google maps api xml file that automatically gets generated and used the stated link to create a new API KEY  I did all the steps and saved my new key under my current project  I then removed my old registered API KEY as it was no longer required  Under the Manifest file I replaced the old API KEY value with the string shortcut created by this new XML file  android value   string google maps key   instead of stating the KEY directly  Finally  remove the new MapActivity  but keep the xml file that was created in that process    Note  By creating the API KEY in this way the Restrictions column  under Credentials  now stated  Android apps   Earlier  when it didn t work the column stated  Android apps  1 API  or something similar  I do not know if this makes a difference or not  Note  No  that just means that I do not have a specific API selected for this API key  Console -  API key -  Key restrictions -  API restrictions    Note  It looks like the meta-data tag under the Manifest file   android name  com google android maps v2 API KEY   has been replaced by   android name  com google android geo API KEY    I guess that both can be used but it s better from the start using the latter   Note  The value stated  in the build gradle file  under android -  defaultConfig -  applicationId has to match the Package name text under the Credentials page

I had the exact same issue and i just needed to set the SDK for the library project of the MapsApiV2 to Android 2 3 3  API lvl 10

User · Answer

I faced the same issue    If you issued an api for your release version of the application  Then that api will only work for the release version not for the debug version  So make sure you are using the release version in your phone or emulator
