Android Maps: Failed to load map. Could not contact Google servers

Question

This bug has been persistent for forever. (I made sure that \"Google Maps Android API v2\" is the one turned on.)

Here\'s the MainActivity.java:

pack         


        

Answer 1

1. The first problem I see is here:

<fragment 
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

remove this line: class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

and set android:name as:

 android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

2. Remove this line from the manifest file:

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

This is Google Maps API V1 permission and shouldn't be use in API V2.

Take a look at this blog post and make sure are doing everything correctly:

3. The problem you describing usually derives from a problem in generating or registering the API key using the API Console, If you are positive that you have made all the steps correctly then I suggest you to delete the debug.keystore folder, compile some project in Eclipse (this will result in a new SHA1 key) and register the key again using the console. Take a look at this blog post I wrote and make sure I are doing all the steps right:
