i have made an android application and in it , there is one scenario when the user clicks on an address and that address shows up on google maps.
Now when i tested the application on the emulator, the google maps did load properly, but now that i am trying the same on my htc desire z, the maps is not loading.
Although the maps application which came built-in in my phone is loading google maps correctly.
what could be the problem? why is my application not able to load the map view?

thank you in advance.
EDIT: i have obtained a google map api key and have included it in the mapview that i am using.i have added overlays and etc. It is all showing fine on the emulator , but on my device it is not showing any maps. The overlays are visible.

    There is a difference between a debug maps API key and a release maps API key. With the first it will only run on the emulator.

    Unless you have visited the Google site twice (once to get a key which matches the debug keystore and once to get a key which matches your release keystore) then you haven’t got a release key and your app won’t run on real device.
