android- google map stop working - android

I've used google maps in my application since 8 month ago . I'm using eclipse. It works nice and every thing was ok. Now I find out that maps are not showing anymore , it shows the google icon and zoom icons too but it doesn't show the maps .
I went to new google developer console . https://console.developers.google.com and I enabled Google Maps Android API on the console , then I went to "credential" and regenerate a new key .
I change some codes in manifest , this is my manifest code :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<permission
android:name="myapplication.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="ir.persiandesigners.jazebehayeiran2.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />
<!-- end map -->
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/CustomActionBarTheme" >
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="myApiKey" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
I export the app and installed it again but it doesn't work yet .
what should I do ? Why it is not working ?
by the way ,I'm having google play service lib verion 4.3.23 in the eclipse and I'm sure that I've installed google play service on my phone .
thanks


When you export the app did you use another key other than debug.keystore. Then you should generate the SHA1 key with the keystore file you used to export the app.


<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="your_API_key"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="google_play_services_system_key"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
"google_play_services_system_key" this will you get in your error when you run your code. this is your system key put that here.


Try to Open your SDK manager and Update the Google Play Services and Google Repository.

Google map not loading Android

Though I know this has been a persistent and addressed issue, everyone's problem seems to be solved a different way every time. I have been trying to get my map to show all day but to no avail. I had a project which had a map in it, so what I migrated that project to another location and set up Google Play Services in that project. I got everything to work except for the map to show. I have the library as i am able to use LatLng but the map always fails to load. I have generated new keys, deleted and re added the key, and deleted and re added the debug keystore. I have also updated the api console to ensure everything lined up but my map still doesnt show. I have Google Map for Android Api enabled in the console. And my package name is correct also. I have ran a clean rebuild and uninstalled the app to see if it works but it still doesnt load.
NOTE: I have also tried using SupportMapFragment instead.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
I have added an image to show that my package name lines up. Also i copied and pasted the SHA1 fingerprint so I am sure that it does line up also.

For those who may face a similar problem, my google play service was outdated. So I had to change the build.gradle the current version of google play service.

App cannot connect to Google servers for access to Google maps

I've been working on an android app for the past little while and I wanted to set it up to connect to Google Maps. I've been writing it inside Eclipse with the ADT plugins. I followed this tutorial but I've been getting the following Error when I try to load maps.
"failed to load map. error contacting google servers. this is probably an authentication issue (but could be do to network errors)"
Since I can access google maps in other apps it has to be an authentication error. I've tried uninstalling the app from my phone but that does not fix the error.
The SHA1 that eclipse is using (according to window > properties > android > build) is 58:EF:6F:DE:DE:B4:4E:EB:20:15:68:39:08:5D:87:32:FE:20:99:99
I used this to generate an API key in the google console which you can see contained below in my manifest file. The app I specified in the console was 58:EF:6F:DE:DE:B4:4E:EB:20:15:68:39:08:5D:87:32:FE:20:99:99;com.example.test. It may be worth noting that I'm loading the map inside an activity located in the gui package, not the com.example.test package that contains MainActivity.
I've been testing this on my nexus 5 by clicking play in eclipse while the phone is plugged into my computer.

Make sure all below mentioned points are taken care:
1) Wrong service was enabled. Make sure the "Google Maps Android API v2", not "Google Maps API v2" is enabled and re-generate the API key.
2) Add the following elements to your manifest. Replace com.example.mapdemo with the package name of your application.
3) Use of correct certificate and key. Release certificate, which WILL NOT WORK during debugging when you run the app on my phone. You have to use the debugging keystore certificate fingerprint instead.

Google Maps Android V2 - Blank Screen

I am implementing google maps for android. I created a test application and inserted all the permissions etc in that application and the application worked flawlessly.
But when I try and copy the same code to my real application it shows me blank screen on the android activity.Although I've updated the package name in the google api console.
Here's what my Test Project Manifest Looks Like :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.mapstutorial"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

android:targetSdkVersion="17" />

android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.mapstutorial.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true"/>
<application

android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
and here's what my real project manifest looks like :
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.shop.shoppinglist"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

I updated the package name to com.shop.addtask in my console fingerprint but still it shows me the white screen.What could cause the problem ? The apikey I've used is same in both of the applications. But it works on test application not on the real app.
I've created the api key using the fingerprint
I've switched on google maps android v2 in the console
I am using the same api key as mentioned in the console.
So these things are correct and the problem cannot be caused by one of them.

2 possible reasons:
1. this part:
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="my api key"/>
should right before the closing application tag.
2. Most likely you have some sort of problem with your key. Try to generate a new by deleting the debug.keystore folder and running a project. then register it again via the console.
you can use this guide I wrote to do just that:
Google Map API V2 key
Update:
Check this for a second:
<permission android:name="com.shop.addtask.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
it looks that the package you set here is not the package of your application and should be:
<uses-permission android:name="com.shop.shoppinglist.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
<permission android:name="com.shop.shoppinglist.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

<permission android:name="com.shop.addtask.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.shop.addtask.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
package name is
package="com.shop.shoppinglist"
Hope below link helps you, AndroidManifest.xml for Google Maps Android API v2
try this,
<permission android:name="com.shop.shoppinglist.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.shop.shoppinglist.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>

After everything fails, try to uninstall the app and try it again. It worked in my case.

My problem was that I've changed the app's package name in the AndroidManifest file, but not the gradle.build's "applicationId" property, maybe that helps someone...

I had the same problem. I tried everything suggested on the different solutions on this error. Inclusively, I recreated my API key(including creating a new project) and nothing worked. After many, many hours wasted, I decided to delete all myapp user data on my android device, and magically this took care of the problem. My maps display correctly! Yay!!!
Android 4.2.2: Settings/Apps/YourApp/Clear data.
I hope this simple solution helps when everything else fails.

ok, I have the same problem, I follow all the steps in the blogs and the google official page and not working, the solution is correct
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps"/>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="my api key"/>
before close the application tag, but in the other case I found the solution, the problem is I generate SHA1 code in a macinthosh but I clone the repository and work in windows plataform but I found this problem, my solutions is that go to google console and generate other apikey but get the SHA1 code using this comand in windows,open the console
and typed this code
cd C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_20\bin and press enter
next step copy and paste this code
keytool -list -v -keystore %HOMEPATH%\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
after press enter inside the console you show the SHA1 code copy and paste in a google console,is very important specified SHA1 code ";" and correct package ..
regards!!!

I 've got a similar problem with the map. After fixing all lib and key problems, I just saw a white sreen labled with "Google".
The problem was, that I put the MapFragment into a ScrollView. After removing the ScrollView everything works fine. I can see the map.

Check whether you enabled Google Maps Android API or not
Open Google Map developer console.
Go to Library -> Google Maps Android APIs
If it is disabled, enable it.
