android - Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue

Question

I search all days and I can't find the answer...

everything is ready but google map still can't show on fragment with tab

I check that I already turn on google map android v2 and right API_KEY

I have no idea what happened!

MainActivity.java:

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements
        ActionBar.TabListener {

    SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;

    ViewPager mViewPager;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        String titles[] = { this.getString(R.string.title_around),
                this.getString(R.string.title_map),
                this.getString(R.string.title_favorite),
                this.getString(R.string.title_achievement), };

        final ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
        actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

        mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(
                getSupportFragmentManager());

        mViewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.pager);
        mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);
        mViewPager
                .setOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.SimpleOnPageChangeListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onPageSelected(int position) {
                        actionBar.setSelectedNavigationItem(position);
                    }
                });

        for (int i = 0; i < titles.length; i++) {
            actionBar.addTab(actionBar.newTab().setText(titles[i])
                    .setTabListener(this));
        }
    }

            Fragment fragment = null;

                break;
            }

            return fragment;
        }

        @Override

            return 4;
        }

MapsFragment.java:

    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_fragment,container, false);

        map = ((SupportMapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

         mMapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
         FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =
                 getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
         fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.map,mMapFragment);
         fragmentTransaction.commit();

        return rootView;

    <!-- end -->

Solution:

I found the solution!!!

If you use private keystore to apply API_KEY. You cannot upload and install application with eclipse.

You need to upload .apk file to your device by yourself and install it!

Thanks Tarsem and srikanth gr help!!

Answer 1

it sounds like you have problem with your API_KEY which is obtained from Google API Access ,so verify your API_KEY , certificate fingerprints and package name

also use this inside <manifest>

<uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true" >
    </uses-feature>

and also verify: <meta-data .... > should be inside <application> tag

PS.

1. Also try by adding following Permission

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>

2. After changing API key in AndroidManifest.xml Must Clear Application Data

To Clear Application Data :

Either Go to Settings>Application Manager>Select Your Application > Click on Clear Data

Or Must Uninstall The Application before installing it ! Note Don't Re-install unless you Completely Uninstall the Application in order to clear its Data completely
