Google map api showing blank map in android

I am using google map direction api and my api key is on billing mode.When I try to use this map API..It works only on one device(When I installed it for the first time).
I am unable to use it on any other device.My map becomes blank.
Free trial api's works fine!!

Please give the permissions with your manifest. First, in the following you need to replace the package name with your package.
<permission
android:name="com.example.mapdemo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
per your package name, should be --
<permission
android:name="com.example.barcodelibrary.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.barcodelibrary.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
Finally, you seem to be missing the following permissions.
<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.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
I hope it will work for you.

There are two possible
1.Please change your api key and check it.
2.Otherwise, you have to build an apk from which android studio id you give to get api key from android google map.

Can't load Google Map in fragment activity

I am working on a project which has google map configuration and view.
But i can't see google map on the activity. The map has been loaded but not showing the details. Please see the image give.
See there is Google logo in left bottom corner. but still not showing the map on screen.
Following is Menifest.xml
<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="key------" />
<permission
android:name="com.roadyo.passenger.googlemapsv2.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.MAPS_RECIEVE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>

Please check your api key.
Follow this link to generate api key for google maps
Google map console

Here is a simple example of how to use maps in our app, it gives step by step implementation of it, including registering app foe google APIs...
http://javapapers.com/android/android-show-current-location-on-map-using-google-maps-api/

Check your Sha1 and package name used to generate the api key. I have also got this error when i checked it its beacause of the mistake in package name and i regenerated the key by changing the package and i got it correctly

Google Maps API v2 - Using API Key with built-in map app

If the built-in google-maps app is started via an intent, like so
string maps = "maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap"
string addr = "center=422+Android+Blvd+10110";
string key = "key=Ab4jk3j4k34jk34jk3"
string url = "http://" + maps + "?" + addr + "&" + key
Intent intent = new Intent(Android.Content.Intent.ActionView, Uri.Parse(url));
intent.SetClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps", "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
StartActivityForResult(intent,(int)ActivityRequestCode.Map);
can an API-key be specified in the request's url so that it will be serviced in the same way as when
using them in requests from the v2 MapFragment/MapActivity/MapView ?
I think all my syntax and such is correct, because the first request I made today was fulfilled, but all subsequent requests have been ignored. It's as if the service is enforcing it's abuse policy against my IP.
A debug.keystore file was used to extract the SHA signature from, and an entry was made in the manifest file with the generated key:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest>
<application>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="Ab4jk3j4k34jk34jk3" />
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="15" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SET_DEBUG_APP" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true"/>
</manifest>
Since my requests are being ignored, I think maybe the built-in maps app doesn't support requests with keys specified in them. There are technical limitations as to why I cannot use the newer v2 style MapFragment/MapActivity (or whatever it's called).
I've tried three key types, two "browser apps" and one "android apps":
Thank you.

The browser API key differs from the mobile application API key, so you will not be able to use the API key you have generated from your keystore as it is only for your app.
Using static (browser) maps is afaik without keys, however if you are displaying a map on a specific domain on a web page you will need to use an API key.

Google Maps v2 - Intent URI Arguments

GoogleMap V2 loads map randomly android

I have implemented Google Map V2 in my application, Everything works just fine.
Checked on 2-3 mobiles and tabs it runs perfectly,
But it runs for 10 to 15 times a day on single device.,after that it does not load map on same device and gives following error.
05-06 07:17:41.866: E/Google Maps Android API(17217): Failed to load map. Could not contact Google servers.
In short, sometimes it displays map and sometimes it does not.
I m using map key generated from android debug key.
Please suggest some solutions for this.

I am experiencing the same problem, the maps are running OK on multiple devices, but randomly show a blank screen, sometimes for days.
When I debug the code I can see that all actions like adding markers, overlays, etc. are executed properly.
Also, no idea if this is related, but the Geocoder seems to be working correctly in the meanwhile, so it is definitely not related to an Google Services connectivity issue(or is it?).
Besides, the map also works fine offline and the cache data is stored properly (well, most of the time that is).
Clearing my app's cache and data also doesn't help. Nor does doing so for the Google Services app.
However, reinstalling the application seems to fix it for most of the time, but does not prevent it from reoccurring.

Add the following permission in your manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
There are Google Maps API v2 and Google Maps Android API v2.
You should use Google Maps Android API v2.

google map v2 grey blank page , only zoom is there

I am working in Iran, I had used Google map v1 for long time, now that I have to use Google map v2, I just can see a grey blank page with zoom icon only, I have done every thing based on Google instructions, I think I have done everything.
*I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO GOOGLE POLICY THAT MEANS SOME COUNTRIES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES AND MAP .... *
THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR ME NOW
THX
this is the manifest file of my code :

You Must Run your app in amulator having Following Configuration....
Google API(x86 System image)
Select checkBox indicating "Use Host GPU..."

If anything this could be related to Iran's policy and not Google's.
The problem you describe usually happens when you have a problem with the API key you have generated or the way you registered it in the Console.
You can go over this blog post I wrote on getting the Google API V2 key:
Google Map API V2 key

Maybe, you missed one of this:
Didn't include the Google API Key v2 in the manifest.xml
Didn't add the package name in Android maps Key(Console) , example:
ABczzisierkaiSAisi-Ka2;my.project.package
Didn't add Internet Permissions, on manifest.xml.
Your Android device doesn't have an internet connection
NOTE: If you are using a Virtual Device, it won't work, beacuase it needs Google Play Services

I used to face the same problem as yours. The first thing you need to check is Google Maps Android API Key. Then check the settings in AndroidManifest.xml. There are detail instructions in following link: Android Maps Android v2

yes, it's because of country ._.
i have this issue too on javaScript apis, but it works out with proxy..
