I read all the post concering this issue and yet I wasnt able to solve it on my mechine. I allways get:
06-23 20:04:30.011: E/Google Maps Android API(6623): Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue (but could be due to network errors).
when getting to the map activity.
my code:

I got my SHA1 fingerprint from eclipse preferences and it is the same as I had using key tool. the thing is that I had two .android folders(one on C:\Users\user_name.android and on my android sdk folder) I delete the one on the user's after trying to activate my app using it (without success and now it is not recreated) so I got left only with the one under my android sdk folder which is not helping much. I need help I tried almost anything.
