Since last few months I was making an application which incorporates Google Maps, and I was using Google Maps V1 in it. Yesterday I formatted my system, so the key which I was earlier using API V1 for the Google Maps is not working now for the development process.
Now I am trying to make the key for the API v1 again, but I am unable to do so. Can anyone please help me out. Whether I have to shift on Google Map API V2 now ??
I have generated one key using API V2 also. This is also not working. My code is written for Google Maps V1.
Google Maps API v1 is now deprecated so no more keys unfortunately...
Note: Version 1 of the Google Maps Android API has been officially
deprecated as of December 3rd, 2012. This means that from March 18th,
2013 you will no longer be able to request an API key for this
version. No new features will be added to Google Maps Android API v1.
However, apps using v1 will continue to work on devices. Existing and
new developers are encouraged to use Google Maps Android API v2.
from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/v1/
If you somehow had managed to save a copy of your debug.keystore file.. you need not have to use the Google Maps Android API v2..
Now no other option but to use the new API... Give it a try they have made things easier now.
One good and tricky answer from my side too.
As you have your own key ( but because you do not have the debug.keystore for the previous configuration), so you cant use your key. In this case you can do the below task :
Take the debug.keystore and debug API key for Google maps API V1 from anyone else system who has done google maps v1 and use that key for your development purpose, once it is complete and you have checked it, deploy it with the key which you already have for the application.
Let me know if you have any queries ?

I hope I don't get a down vote, English is not my first language that is why I get confused by api documentations. I am confused if I need to generate different api keys for "Google Maps Android API" and "Google Places API for Android"
I am asking because I am sucessfully rendering maps from my android app using google maps android api but when I try the using the code of the official google android places api example (PLACE PICKER) it is failing without throwing any errors. It renders the activity properly but when I click the find places button it just returns me to my previous activity with no error. I am guessing it might be an api key issue that is why I am asking if I need two different api keys for this?
No, each service (Google Maps V2 API and Google Places API) have and will generate a different API Key.
But you can't use/declare both keys in your manifest in the same time. When you are using Google Maps and Google Places just use the Google Places API key only (com.google.android.geo.API_KEY), and it will work for both.
Look at this link at android developers
https://developers.google.com/places/android-api/signup#release-cert
You need an Android API key, not a browser key. You can use the same API key for your Google Maps Android API v2 apps and your Google Places API for Android apps.
I am having problems with updating an Android Project that is using Google Maps Api v1.
According to Google:
Version 1 of the Google Maps Android API has been officially
deprecated as of December 3rd, 2012. This means that from March 18th,
2013 you will no longer be able to request an API key for this
version. No new features will be added to Google Maps Android API v1.
However, apps using v1 will continue to work on devices. Existing and
new developers are encouraged to use Google Maps Android API v2.
Does it mean that in order to update the app I need to update the maps to use Google Maps API v2?
You can continue using v1 for the time being.
The warning simply says that you won't be getting any new features, and you can't request new API keys for v1.
As per your quote:
However, apps using v1 will continue to work on devices.
As you know Google do not support Google Maps API version 1.0 form some days ago. But I had started developing an android application with this API and now when I want to publish it, I can not achieve a Google Map API key. A have some search along some days and find that upgrading to the API version 2 will takes many times.
Is there any way that I access to a API Key for version 1 and publish my application in it deadline ( it is 2 days later) and then I upgrade to the second version for my feature updates?
Thanks in advance
Since Google maps API V1 is deprecated you need to use Google maps API V2. Take a look at the following example by vogella.It is Simple.This is the last option that you have. So Don't waste time. Just Do it.
I have developed an application which uses mapView. I have used Google maps for android v1. I finished my app and now ready to publish but unfortunately Google stopped providing API key from March 18th 2013. Now i'm in a huge trouble.
So is there any way that i can obtain a API key for Google maps for android v1,
or
Can i use Google maps for android v2 key with out changing my code (Like ItemizedOverlays, Overlays, and Drawings on map)
Please Help !!!
Thanks in advance.
This the time you can migrate from current Version V1 to V2. Detailed explanation for Version V2 is here.
Follow steps by steps instruction from the tutorial.
1. You can try to address Google and ask them to provide you with a key, although I doubt they will agree doing that.
2. No you can't use most of the object you used in the Google Map API v1. Overlays are not supported in V2 and you should use polygones and polylines.
I have an application which has been built on google maps api v1. I went to upgrade to v2 so deleted my api key and created a new one.
I am sure that this is the debug key but still get the grey square on my application.
Is the original api still supported and if so is it possible to get an api key which will work with it or do the new keys only work with the v2 api?
Thanks
Is the original api still supported
Yes.
is it possible to get an api key which will work with it
For another couple of weeks, yes. Visit the Maps V1 documentation for the instructions and form to get a Maps V1 API key. This offer expires on March 3, 2013.
or do the new keys only work with the v2 api?
They are entirely separate keys. A Maps V1 key will not work with Maps V2, and vice versa.
