Question

I am tring to implement google maps using the new google maps api v2 and for some reason i don’t see a map.

I think that the problem is those two lines of error when i run it on the emulator:

 E/ActivityThread( 1373): Failed to find provider info for com.google.settings
 E/ActivityThread( 1373): Failed to find provider info for com.google.android.gsf
.gservices

when i run the application on the device the following error is produced:

Could not find class 'maps.j.k', referenced from method map.y.ae.a

My problem looks the same as in this link: http://android-er.blogspot.co.il/2012/12/google-maps-android-api-v2-with-blank.html

There it’s says that the problem may be my key so i went and reproduced it using the following tutorial: http://android-er.blogspot.co.il/2012/12/displaying-sha1-certificate-fingerprint.html. but this still didn’t helped me.

the support files are of course add to the project as well as the Google play services lib.
I see the same result on the emulator (after adding manually the two file that allow using the google map v2 on the emulator) as well as on the motorola Defy running android 2.2.

Maybe I am using the wrong debug.keystore? I am using the one in my User.android folder.If so then how do i find the right file?

EDIT: My eclipse says that my debug key is in the default folder. So i renamed the debug.keystore file and ran the Eclipse to recreate it all over again. That resulted in producing a new SHA1 key. I used it to create a new Google Maps API v2 key but the result is still the same. I’m still unable to see the map.

EDIT2: Stupid me, I chose Google Map API V2 instead of Google Maps Android API V2.
This question can be closed. Thanks.

Answer 1

In my case I chose Google Maps API V2 instead of Google Maps Android API V2. After changing that the problem was gone. So this code is perfectly fine to create a full screen Google map and the question can be closed.

Thanks.
