To use the Google Maps functionality in Android, you need to register for a Maps API key with Google. Until you do this, you will just see a blank grid instead of a map in your applications. You must obtain a Google Maps Android API v2 key - keys from the older Google Maps Android API key v1 will not work. Obtaining a Maps API v2 key involves the following steps:

  • Retrieve the SHA-1 fingerprint of the keystore that is used to sign the application.
  • Create a project in the Google APIs console.
  • Obtaining the API key.
