i am trying to integrate Google Maps to my Android Application. I followed this tutorial: https://blog-emildesign.rhcloud.com/?p=435.
I did everything as suggested.
These are the errors in the error log:
E/Google Maps Android API(28238): Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue (but could be due to network errors).
E/Google Maps Android API(28238): Authorization failure. Please see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start for how to correctly set up the map.
E/Google Maps Android API(28238): Ensure that the following correspond to what is in the API Console: Package Name: com.example.kontrollen, API Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Certificate Fingerprint: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
And this is my google account:
Do you have any ideas what i can do?
This is my AndroidManifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

I solved the problem by uninstalling the app and cleaning the project folder. I did not change anything. Thank you for your help.
follow the url to create your app google api key i have done this recently.. and it was successful.
https://code.google.com/apis/console/ ------------ For Google API
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start ------------ Crate Map
read these page carefully every thing is given in this page .. follow the same but make sure you have generated correct SHA1 fingerprint
and when you are going to crate the app make sure run it on real device because it need google play services to run add google pay services in your application
Edited answer:
Try putting the meta-data within the application tag, preferably right before the closing tag like
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="xyz" />
</application>
Follow this steps to trace error youself
STEPS
for your error type
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
1.check for internet or gsf reader permissions in manifest as shown above.
2.check for the package name you used in you manifest.
3.check in your api console the service that you started is Google Maps Android API v2.
4.Check the library google play services is imported or not.
5.if no solution is working try out new way following this link-- https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start.
6.Also keytool command to generate sha1--i used is-
keytool -v -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore C:/Users/username/.android/debug.keystore
I had actually made a maps activity from the studio and used the link it generated to set up the maps API. Where I went wrong was, I placed it inside a package and the package name that was registered for the app was with that folder name. For Ex.
If app package name is
com.awesome.shit
the package that was saved in API was
com.awesome.shit.maps
changed it and it started working.

I am developing an google Map application
For My Code Please See Following Link.
Link For Code
I had run that application completely and that was worked.
But I changed Package and Changed API key which I had mentioned in menifest File.
For that:
I had reffered Lots of link for that and also clean the project.
Uninstall the application from deveice with its data completely and again run with different key.
But result is same.
In that I got Following Errors:
Authorization failure. Please see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start for how to correctly set up the map.
Ensure that the following correspond to what is in the API Console: Package Name: com.example.rchat, API Key: AIzaSyCvFmp6pNM6LHn4AEuWvztuePsIQNLPtZo, Certificate Fingerprint: E2C6F24150FD2483E06F709DF128962CEF35A63E
Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue (but could be due to network errors).
please help me for that. The mapview is displaying with white background but map doesnt displaying.
Thankyou in advance.
Step 1: Eclipse -> Window -> Preferences -> Android -> Build
copy SHA1 fingerprint:
Step 2: register google account and go to https://code.google.com/apis/console/
click on "Create New Android key"
paste your sha1 and package name your's project
Step 3:
.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="<your_package_name>.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

<!-- Goolge Maps API Key -->
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="<your_api_key>" />
</application>
Note: delete old app on android device , and run again. hope this help for you.
Include the following code to your manifest file.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version"
/>
Something may wrong in your Manifest.xml. After changing the package name, did you change permission package name?
<permission
android:name="com.example.rchat.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.rchat.maps.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
I am making an android app with google maps:-
My steps:-
Main activity extends Fragment activity
Made a copy of Google play services library and imported it to eclipse.Further added a reference of the library to the project.
Enabled the build target of the project to Google API's 4.4.2
Created a browser key on Google API console.
Created an SHA1 certificate for the app in eclipse using the keytool plugin(Also verifies the key using the traditional command prompt technique and both match).
Created an android Api key on Google API console using the SHA1 key obtained
Issue:- I get a blank map on the screen with the zoom in and zoom out buttons
Here is my code:-
activity_main.xml:-
<fragment

While generating the key do i need to spicify the whole package name i.e. com.abcdm.locatorapp or just com.abcdm
Yes you need to mention the package name in the google api console
SHA;complete packagename
Also try regenerating the key
The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included
You need to reference the google play servies properly. Check this
Importing google-play-service library showing a red X next to this reference android
Your keystore is not appropriate or package name mistake in google api console, recheck once.
Which type of keystore you are using? If you use debug key and published map looks blank. Use release key to publish.
Google Map Android API v2 can't display map in play store application
mention the entire package name with the key after semicolon ie. com.abcdm.locatorapp

I've imported the Google Play Services into my project and marked on the Google API Console Services list "Google Maps API v2", "Google Maps API v3" and "Google Maps Android API v2", however it seems my Map Fragment is still not being able to authenticate.
Map Fragment is just a blank grey square on the middle of the screen, any ideas why is this happening?
Hi I was just having this exact same problem. I tried everything the docs said but nothing seemed to work.
The only thing that worked for me was uninstalling and reinstalling my application (not even rebooting worked) because apparently if you make one mistake on the configuration the system caches the failed authentication and your maps won't work even after fixing your configuration.
So try following the docs and guides on configuring Google Maps Api on Android but every time you change something on your configuration uninstall and reinstall.
If you are running application on a device,experiencing the same issue and had no luck any other solutions.
make sure the installed google-play services is the latest one.
make sure the device date and time is correct as well
http://www.techkhoji.com/no-connection-retry-google-play-store/
Google Play Services sync with their master servers to send and
receive data, to do this your device time and date should be correctly
set
Check if other applications depend on google-play services such as Play Store are working.If they are having trouble with connecting to servers ("NO CONNECTION, RETRY") even when the internet connection is available one of the above points could be the solution.
I regenerated API key and updated in google console, its working fine
I read all the post concering this issue and yet I wasnt able to solve it on my mechine.
I allways get:
06-23 20:04:30.011: E/Google Maps Android API(6623): Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue (but could be due to network errors).

I got my SHA1 fingerprint from eclipse preferences and it is the same as I had using key tool. the thing is that I had two .android folders(one on C:\Users\user_name.android and on my android sdk folder) I delete the one on the user's after trying to activate my app using it (without success and now it is not recreated) so I got left only with the one under my android sdk folder which is not helping much.
I need help I tried almost anything.
Go to https://code.google.com/apis/console
Once logged in, go to Services > Google Maps Android API v2 and switch on this toggle button.
Careful: it's "Google Maps Android API v2" and not "Google Maps API v2".
For those to whom none of the answers work, in my case the problem was, that there was another android app key registered for the same package name on another account's console, so the maps api was finding that, and failed to authenticate me (obviously). As soon as that has been removed (and the fingerprints added to the one I was using) after removing and installing the app again on the phone everything started to work.
This is keystore issue on 99%.
1) I use for release and debug the same file debug.keystore which I copy from C:/Users/EEfimenko/.android/debug.keystore to C:\Users\EEfimenko\Android\MyApp\app folder for access directly like to debug.keystore without C:/Users/... link
2) Then I add point to it from build.gradle(Module: app) file inandroid`:
signingConfigs {
debug {
storeFile file('debug.keystore')
}
release {
storeFile file('debug.keystore')
}
}
3) Run keytool -list -v -keystore debug.keystore command from cmd from C:\Users\EEfimenko\Android\MyApp\app folder and mix resulted SHA1 fingerprint with name of applet: FR:TY:CG.....YF:ER;com.myapp.nameofit
4) Go to https://code.google.com/apis/console/b/0/?noredirect to:
a) Services and enable "Google Maps Android API v2" to ON state
b) Put FR:TY:CG.....YF:ER;com.myapp.nameofit in "API Access" like Create new Android Key
Now you can see your map with key again like at beginning without key!:)
I tried to do almost everything like generating the key for 20 times, changing the order of the permissions, but there is nothing batter than just removing the project from workspace and importing it back again.
Problem is: work without key, but doesn't work with it, because you touch "app" file by your hand from editor. You must edit it and make changes only from: File -> Project structure
You need to find file \app\src\release\res\values\google_maps_api.xml
in your project and place there your Google API KEY because Android Studio show you only google_maps_api.xml from debug folder for debug version. Than all will work and map will show not only in debug mode;)
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"

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.
