Question

i have made an application in which i need to load the google maps. For this i am using the Google API 8 in my application.

i have the following code in my xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:apiKey=" 0x94IPJOQyNBzKMCfF5ks82SpwcbVab3Ixfk_hQ " android:id="@+id/mapview"
    android:enabled="true"/>
<!--    home key -->
<!--    0x94IPJOQyNBzKMCfF5ks82SpwcbVab3Ixfk_hQ -->
<!--        map key for publishing -->
 </LinearLayout>

The above key i have obtained by using the MD5 print of the debug.keystore file.

The error that i am getting in the Logcat is :

07-25 22:52:02.167: ERROR/MapActivity(4784): Couldn't get connection factory client

In the .java file for the maps, i have used an overlay to load a set of co-ordinates. The overlay is visible but the map is not visible. What could be going wrong?

thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Do you have allowed permission for connection to internet? Or you see grid lines?

 <uses-permission
        android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

And what I have noticed, you have empty space at the end and beginning of android:key="
