Question

My steps:

• got SHA1 code from debug.keystore
• create app in google apis console
• enabled google map api v2
• input SHA1;my.package.name
• get API key

• created AndroidManifest file:

      <permission
              android:name="my.package.name.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
              android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
  
      <uses-permission android:name="my.package.name.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>
  
      <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="15"/>
  
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
      <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" />
  
      <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true"/>
  
      <application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:hardwareAccelerated="true">
  
          <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="MY_API_KEY_HERE" />
  
          <activity android:name="MyActivity"
                    android:label="@string/app_name">
              <intent-filter>
                  <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                  <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
              </intent-filter>
          </activity>
      </application>
  </manifest>
  

• created layout

• put “google-play-services.jar” to libs

After compilation I’ve got crash:

  ERROR/AndroidRuntime(10182): FATAL EXCEPTION: main

After that I’ve changed layout to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
             android:id="@+id/map"
             android:layout_width="match_parent"
             android:layout_height="match_parent" />

and changed MyActivity to

  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    FragmentManager manager = getFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction transaction = manager.beginTransaction();

    transaction.add(R.id.map, MapFragment.newInstance());           
    transaction.commit();

As result, the application was started, but I didn’t see the map.

Console log:

ERROR/Google Maps Android API(10369): Authorization failure.

Answer 1

Steps:

• to ensure that device has Google Play services APK
• to install Google Play Service rev. more than 2

• to create project at https://code.google.com/apis/console/
• to enable “Google Maps Android API v2”
  
• to register of SHA1 in project (NOW, YOU NEED WRITE SHA1;your.app.package.name) at APIs console and get API KEY
• to copy directory ANDROID_SDK_DIR/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib to root of your project
• to add next line to the YOUR_PROJECT/project.properties

android.library.reference.1=google-play-services_lib

• to add next lines to the YOUR_PROJECT/proguard-project.txt

.

-keep class * extends java.util.ListResourceBundle {

   protected Object[][] getContents();

}

Now you are ready to create your own Google Map app with using Google Map APIs V2 for Android.

If you create application with min SDK = 8, please use android support library v4 + SupportMapFragment instead of MapFragment.
