Ensure that the “Google Maps Android API v2” is en

Question

I am working on google maps and I am getting this error. I had done the following things:

1. Got My sha1 fingerprint.

2. Registered my project and got my project key.

I don't know to how to get Google Maps Android API v2 enable because all the links I have tried are old and Google had changed it's site design. Please help me. I already have wasted a lot of time on this.

My Logcat:

Authorization failure.  Please see developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/start for how to correctly set up the map.
E/Google Maps Android API: In the Google Developer Console (console.developers.google.com)


 Ensure that the "Google Maps Android API v2" is enabled.
 Ensure that the following Android Key exists:
   API Key: AIzaSyBK8rKr9lCRLhzv68I4Q26G9pHHO******

Answer 1

you may need to add new SHA-1 Certificate fingerprints to your API key application restrictions page:

to generate a SHA1 Certificate fingerprints for your debug build, use keytool of java jre as the following example command:

C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\bin>keytool -list -v -keystore C:\Users\linhd\.android\debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Answer 2

I added a key from another test project to a main. Then I opened https://console.developers.google.com/ and added that key with a new application name (like Linh Dao wrote), but it didn't help.

Then I added a new activity (a template "Google Maps Activity" in a gallery) and opened a file google_maps_api.xml. From there I again found a link like https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_android_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE_ANDROID&r=06:F2:F4:CD...applicationName.

I opened app/build.gradle, found applicationId value with applicationIdSuffix, if exists, and joined, for instance into com.example.myapp.debug. In the link I changed an applicationName to this new value and opened the link.

Again created a new project, generated a new key and edited it, wrote package name and SHA-1 fingerprint, like @Linh Dao wrote. Then saved. If you later with to find that key, find your project in Google console and open credentials.

I deleted an unnecessary map activity and in AndroidManifest retained

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
    android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />

in application tag.
