Question

In my Android Application I have a Google MapView Activity and I am facing the following Error:

MapView: Couldn't get connection factory client

At first: I have a right Maps Key and the Internetpermission and the Map is displaying fine on Emulator and Device. The thing that I am confused about is that although the map works, the above error displays.

On the Device sometimes the Map loads and displays correctly and 1 minute later, if start to zoom and pinch the map the map does not continue loading and throws the error.

If I switch off and on again the mobile network on the device the map works fine again.

Edit: my Manifest file:

Answer 1

Just try to give these Two Permission

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

Because when you zoom in/zoom out the Google map goes accordingly in/out, so for that we need to give such permission.
It will work then
