Google Maps application not showing the map

Question

when I run my applicationn (google-map application), I don't see the map. I just see a white screen (like in the photo below).

mainfest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.williamroma.example"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >

          <!--  Add Google Map Library -->
        <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

        <activity
            android:name=".GoogleMapActivity"
            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>

      <!-- Allow to connect with internet -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
</manifest>

activity

package com.williamroma.example;

import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class GoogleMapActivity extends MapActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return false;
    }
}

Here is the screen that i see, i want to see the map like in this tuotiral http://www.androidhive.info/2012/01/android-working-with-google-maps/

Answer 1

i have the same problem with legal key.I obtained it in 10th of March and google closed key V1 generator in 18th of March and told that apps with V1 will continue to operate normally.All of this time until yesterday my app worked fine but today i see a blank page.

Answer 2

By the look of it your code looks ok for Google Map API V1. So there must be some problem with your key. for what I know if it's a new generated key then Google doesn't provide keys for Google Map API V1, so it must be a key for Google Map API V2 and that's the reason it doesn't work.

if you would like to change you application implementation to Google Maps API V2, you can use this guide I wrote with the steps to do so:
