Android Api With Google Map Displays Grid

I am creating an android application that uses google maps api v2. I believe I have done everything as google tutorial sais but still I am getting only the google maps grid (no map

Solution 1:

If you writing you application for API V2 then you are using the wrong objects, few things you need to fix:

1. Remove this:

<uses-libraryandroid:name="com.google.android.maps"/>

it's a permission for Google Map API V1.

2. you have to add this 2 permissions:

<permissionandroid:name="your.application.package.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"android:protectionLevel="signature"/><uses-permissionandroid:name="your.application.package.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>

change: your.application.package to your current application package.

3. As you targeting SDK v8, you have to add fragment support to your application in order to use the SupportMapFragment from Google Map API V2, So you need to add google-support-v4 and change your map object to SupportMapFragment.

4. Your MapActivity has to be changed to FragmentActivity.

5. You can can get more information on how to make those changes in a blog post I wrote on how to add Google Map API V2 to your project:

Solution 2:

Your problem is related with the emulator, you need to install to APK's. I had similar problems so I prepared step by step tutorial to show how you can use google map android v2 on emulator(android 4.2.2) have a look at to my blog: http://umut.tekguc.info/en/content/google-android-map-v2-step-step

You need to generate MD5 fingerprint from java keytool instead of SHA1. Check this post to generate MD5 fingerprint: How can I get the MD5 fingerprint from Java's keytool, not only SHA-1?
