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.

Android mobile device not showing in my eclipse browser

While I am trying to run Google Maps type apps I try to run using my android device. But device is not showing in my eclipse browser. What should I do ?
Is there any alternate way to run these type of applications ?
my menifest file as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.googlemaps"
android:versionCode="1"

Please Share what you have tried?
where you have to run this Application?
Please check Right click on the project->Run As->Run Configuration Now one window will show..That contains three tabs like Android,Target,Common.
1.You should select Launch default Activity in android tab
2.You should Select Automatically pick compatible Device
Ple try it
<uses-sdk
android:minSdkVersion="12"
android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
Ple Check this lines from Your manifest flie.. android:minSdkVersion="12" know..For Your Mobile Should not Greater than from 12.Please Check

This worked for me:
Create an apk file with same keystore key you have stored into Google Maps Console and install into your device. Installing into Android device using eclipse will not take your correct SHA1 key to view the Google Maps. As incorrect SHA1 key will lead to authentication failure.

All steps in many tutorials have a same code , I Think a problem is in emulator .

Google Map Api v2 wont show the map if you try to run it in Emulator or Device.
In order to show Map you need to sign the Application and then through command prompt try to install your application. Hope you will be able to get Map.
Few Steps required:-
1) You need add Libray project to your application
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject
Hope this will help you.

From the tutorial i read from this http://agusharyanto.net/wordpress/?p=893 from indonesia, you must use the google service library on the Google API that you choose and use another application venton.apk and gms.apk from adb command. If you dont understand the languages, try understand by look at the image explanation.

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.

Android Mapv2 Issue

All,
Trying to use google v2 map api in my android application and can't get it to work, it keeps displaying a blank white page!
I even tried running samples from https://github.com/commonsguy/cw-omnibus/tree/master/MapsV2 and got the BasicMap application compiled and installed on my device but exactly same issue!
Since this is happening both for my code and this code that all I heard is a valid source I assume this is not the Key issue as these two use two different keys.
I've done all I could, here is manifest file from the sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.commonsware.android.mapsv2.basic"

Any idea what this could be?

Try to follow the following guide I wrote for adding a Google Map Api V2:
