Can't add google api key for Chromium build

I am trying to build chromium according to the documentation
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/android_build_instructions.md
The problem now is that I cannot login to google services such as gmail, youtube even though I have added google api key.
If anyone has a similar problem please share experience

We faced with a similar issue in our product which integrates with Chromium. We noticed that every time we try to login to Google Account we get the following error:
During our research we figured out that Google blocks login if the --remote-debugging-port Chromium switch is used. So, maybe that's your case too? Please make sure that you don't use this switch.

PhoneGap and Google Maps API V3 "Disabled?"

So, I am building a simple PhoneGap application that loads a Google Maps API V3 view. I have searched far and wide for an answer, but I have not found a thing. I get the following error when trying to load the API:
"Google has disabled the use of Maps API for this application. The provided key is not a valid Google API Key, or it is not authorized for the Google Maps Javascript API V3 on this site."
I have tried everything. In Cordova, I have all domains whitelisted (""), and the same in the Google Play Developer Console (""). I have even tried whitelisting "file://", but no such luck.
What drives me nuts is, when I use my code outside of the scope of PhoneGap, it works fine. Can anybody shed some light? Thanks!

I have the same issue.
I changed the Google developers console Api key referrers from '*' to '' and then solved my problem.
Just leave the referrers field it blank.
I hope it help. I spent about 4 hours to solve it :#

Google Maps not working Android 2.2.2

I'm really hoping someone can help me. I'm using google maps in an application. I am working on someone elses code so I'm not sure how to fix this problem. The code checks to see if textureview is supported, if it is use it else use surface view. The maps work perfectly with newer devices, however, when testing it on a htc desire 2.2.2, there are no maps displayed. It actually says in the logcat authentication error, I'm not sure how this is possible because there isn't any authentication error when running on newer devices.
The code used is from this library
https://github.com/NyxDigital/NiceSupportMapFragment/blob/master/src/com/NYXDigital/NiceSupportMapFragment.java
In the services section of the Google API's console Google Maps Android API v2 only is set on.
The authentication error I think is unusual as there isn't an issue with the newer devices.
If anyone has come across this before I'd appreciate it you could offer some advice
EDIT ---- THIS PHONE IS RUNNING 2.2.2

This may be a duplicate issue of some other API V2 authentication error questions questions please see:
Android Google Maps V2 authentication error
and
Google Maps API V2 - always get authentication error

For anyone that might come across this issue in future...
This line
holder.setFormat(PixelFormat.RGB_888);
of the git hub library code was preventing the map from being displayed, it wasn't anything to do with authorization. The authorization issue was that I wasn't using the correct debug key, but when I had sorted this issue, the maps not displaying was still causing hassle.
So after much debugging and commenting of code, I discovered that the above line is the culprit. So I added a simple check and it's sorted

Does Google Drive integrate with Android through code?

I have spent some hours searching for Android phone integrations with Google Drive through code. But I am not able to figure it out. I want to make a app in which when I press a button, my specific file is uploaded and stored in Google Drive.

Currently, GoogleDrive is not integrated with Android. However, this is something they are working on and say it will be here "soon". The services theyre working on is called Google Play Services.
You can also currently use the java client library to accomplish what you need for now.
Just a warning, there aren't many great examples out there so its somewhat difficult to figure out.

Google Analytics and Google Map on Android

I am displaying maps in my Android Application. Nowhere in my application I have explicitly invoked www.google-analytics.com, yet I see lots of request going to this website.This is causing my application to be very slow. Also many times I get errors like Unresolved host www.google-analytics.com.
Is it mandatory for the functioning for Google Maps in Android or can we turn this off?
Thanks

I guess if Google Maps is using some Google analytics internally, there isnt much that u can do
