Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers issue with android google maps api v2 [duplicate]

Answer 1

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="my_api_key" />

android:value="my_api_key" should be an actual key that you get from https://code.google.com/apis/console

Answer 2

This permission solved the problem

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/> 

Answer 3

I have solved this kind of problem, i hope people who find the same problem with me(hopefully nobody else ever do the same mistake) will find this helpful

my cause was i made a mistake when i created the project, the package name was wrong then i changed the package name of the project, this will produce 2 applications with same name but different package name. starting from here the maps didnt work anymore. then even if i changed the server side google api key, it still wont work.

solution: try to uninstall both of apps first then clean the solution. and the map shows up again.

Answer 4

My solution was use the correct file

in my case i used debug.keystore in C:\Users\.android for generate SH1 KEY

after try meny times, a found anoter file in C:\Users\\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\adt-bundle-windows\sdk.android an use it, for generate SH1 Key

and then copy 45:B5:E4:6F:36:AD:0A:98:94:B4:02:66:2B:12:17:F2:56:26:A0:E0 values the api key site

All Work again

Answer 5

I have found new Solution that was my silly mistake.

May you have changed you application package name after Google Map Integration.

One SHA1 certificate fingerprint and package name (separated by a semicolon) per line. Example:

45:B5:E4:6F:36:AD:0A:98:94:B4:02:66:2B:12:17:F2:56:26:A0:E0;com.example

Check Google API Console

Answer 6

just to say, I was sure that I did everything well, but I finally noticed that the name of the package in the project was not the same as the one declared in the AndroidManifest.xml, so not the same as in Google APIs console.

Guess what, I changed it and... tadaa it worked !

So for who comes here, check that too !
