i’ve a simple app that should show the device’s location on a map. the app seems to work apart from the map does not load, but instead a grey grid. i’ve done some logging and looked at the stacktrace. it mentions that MapActivity couldn’t get connection factory client.
i’ve looked at several threads on this but i can’t find an answer.
once the app is running it just cycles between onDraw and onLocationChanged, endlessly. i’ve created a MapView apiKey, also the correct permissions are in the manifest. Any ideas what i could do? thanks.
[edit] i’ve walked around outside aswell, because gps no in building:)
[edit2]i’ve also tried to regenerate a different md5 fingerprint to generate another apikey but the keytool generates the same md5 fingerprint. it alias matt already exists.
[edit3] I’ve also generated a different MD5 fingerprint by using a different alias in the keytool. This made a different API KEY, unfortunately it still doesn’t work

did you obtained the api key for your debug certificate? If not then that’s your problem.
try reading this article to see how you can do that
