I am getting this error:
E/Google Maps Android API: Authorization failure. Please see https://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 (https://console.developers.google.com)
Ensure that the "Google Maps Android API v2" is enabled.
Ensure that the following Android Key exists:
API Key: [The key...]
Android Application (<cert_fingerprint>;<package_name>):
Instead of the map working correctly, this is what I see:
In my app/build.gradle, I have this:
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:16.0.8'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-awareness:16.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:16.2.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:16.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0'
play-services-location is what I need for the Google Maps, correct? I was looking at the list at https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup and I assume that Google Location and Activity Recognition - com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0 is what I need for Google Maps. Is this correct?
UPDATE 1: I already have Maps SDK for Android enabled:
The error says: Ensure that the "Google Maps Android API v2" is enabled.. Is it referring to the Maps SDK for Android that I am showing in the screenshot in this UPDATE 1?
UPDATE 2: I have Maps SDK for Android enabled:
When I click the MANAGE button, I can go to the section to configure credentials that I showed in UPDATE 1.
UPDATE 3: I see the Map displayed correctly on all versions of Android on the Emulator. But on physical devices, the map never shows up. I see the Google logo and the red balloon, but now the map when I run the app on physical phones. Only on the Emulator everything works. Any ideas why?
UPDATE 4: See my solution at https://stackoverflow.com/a/56307654/4242086.
Hey I had the same problem today!,I solved it very easy for first you have to go https://console.developers.google.com and enable the android SDK maps and then create the api key, return in xamarin go to your manifest and add the google maps api key
https://learn.microsoft.com/it-it/xamarin/android/platform/maps-and-location/maps/obtaining-a-google-maps-api-key?tabs=windows
This is the documentation
(I typed this fast because am on mobile now sorry)
follow to below link for generate google api key:-
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/map-with-marker
Android Code Reference Link:-
https://www.zoftino.com/android-mapview-tutorial
I followed this tutorial and I was able to fix it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJBlQv6IptQ. The video makes references to this tutorial: http://ramsandroid4all.blogspot.com/2016/01/google-maps-android-example-in-android.html.
In my case, what I did was to create a new project at https://console.developers.google.com/. I used Android apps for Application restrictions:
For the Restrict usage to your Android apps section, I had to provide a Package name and a SHA-1 certificate fingerprint. The Package name was in my app/build.gradle, specifically here:
applicationId "[my package name]"
The SHA-1 certificate fingerprint I found it from Android Studio by running signingReport:
The result included something like this:
Alias: AndroidDebugKey
MD5: [The value]
SHA1: [The value]
SHA-256: [The value]
Valid until: Wednesday, May 5, 2049
----------
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s
1 actionable task: 1 executed
16:31:44: Task execution finished 'signingReport'.
Now the map works correctly in my Android app:
UPDATE 1: To my surprise, the maps were working correctly only on the Android Studio Emulator but not on real Android physical devices. The solution was what I posted at https://stackoverflow.com/a/56307654/4242086.
I got the exact same symptoms when I moved the project to a new computer. My solution was to generate a new key based on the error message. The google_maps_api.xml file had an URL in a comment to generate key but that is a static thing, so after moving the project to a new computer I rewrote the URL to match the error message's version.
https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_android_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE_ANDROID&r=[put-the-thing-here]
Generated the key, put it in the XML file and it worked well.
In my case, I did everything right. but was still getting the error it turned out that changing the attribute "android:name" in the manifest file solved the issue.
Change
android:name="com.google.android.maps.API_KEY"
To
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
Time changed the configurations steps. Here the new one.
Set up your project https://console.cloud.google.com/projectselector2/home/dashboard
Enable Google Maps API. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library?filter=category:maps&_ga=2.192684329.2027491681.1618180744-3962552.1609436892 choose the API you want to enable
Go to API Credentials https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/apiui/credential of your project
On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key.
The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key
Click Close.
In Android Studio, open your app-level build.gradle file and add the following code to the plugins element. id 'com.google.secrets_gradle_plugin' version '0.5'
Save the file and sync your project with Gradle
Open values\google_maps_api.xml and replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API got in the point 4.
Check in your AndroidManifest.xml the MAPS_API_KEY is replaced with your actual key
android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="${MAPS_API_KEY}" />
Insert in your AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
Go to the APIs & Services > Credentials page https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/apiui/credential
Select the API key that you want to set a restriction on. The API key property page appears
Under Key restrictions --> Select Android apps.
Click + Add package name and fingerprint.
Enter your package name and SHA-1 certificate fingerprintClick Restrict key.
Select Maps SDK for Android from Select APIs dropdow
To finalize your changes, click Save.
For those who still haven't figured it out yet, again take a look at the logging below the error message. Pay close attention to your certifcate_fingerprint and package_name printed out in the logging. Compare these diligently with the ones specified in your Google Development Console.
I picked up an old hobby project again after almost an entire year of inactivity. I probably changed something somewhere that triggered a change of the certificate fingerprint, or visa versa.
Hope this helps!
I am developing a mobile app around google maps using Ionic4 and native google maps. The problem here is that I am successfully able to see maps being loaded in the browser on system using ionic cordova run browser -l but when I tried to build and run the apk in a device, it gives white scree. I also tried using ionic serve -c and connect to my phone on dev app but see the same white screen and no logs. I am unable to figure out as what is causing it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
My code can be found here. APK can also be found at the same place.
This sounds like google api key credentials issue to me:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/get-api-key
When you on step 5 which is
On the API key page, under Key restrictions, set the Application
restrictions.
You ll select Android Apps and add your
package name : com.example
SHA-1 certificate fingerprint: 60:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:EE:3C:E4:C5:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:C2 (Something Like this)
How to create SHA-1 is already answered, if you dont know please take a look here
Than give it 5 to 10 min and try again, it should work.
Hope it helps.
I'm using this library for using google maps with delphi: GMLib
This has worked fine for several months, but today when I started my application I got a lot of script errors on the page and everything broke down!
After troubleshooting all day I have concluded that this is outside of my control. To demonstrate this you only need to build & run the demo project as it demonstrate the exact same problem (loads of script errors).
The only reasonable explanation is that the js files that the library loads from the Internet has changed. However this is very hard to pinpoint.
I'm hoping the developer of the library sees this as I'm completely lost on how to even start adressing this.
base on this article
Google Maps JS API (v3) InfoWindow Script Error - JSON Undefined
Delphi's solution step is
modify map.html
rebuild gmmapres.rc（use brcc32.exe）
rebuild GMLib_DXE5.dproj
rebuild your project
You can download the newest version 1.5.4 from 1.5.4
I found a chrome app for photography effects which works offline perfectly. But it is having limited features. I have some ideas to add for my use. But I'll require to develop complete app. That'll take more time.
Is there any way so I can modify the app for my personal use?
Well!! I got to know that all chrome extensions/apps are made in HTML & JS. So I can easily decode them by using some chrome crx file downloader or directly from its extension folder.
In the newly published version of my app that is using Google Maps Android API V2, I've implemented all the things suggested by the developer guides to ensure the user has GooglePlayServices installed, and it has been working well on all the devices I own and the several hundred people that have updated to the new version of the app so far.
Today I received a bug report via acra with a strange error. This is happening on the following line of code, after setupMapIfNeeded() has completed:
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
Logcat reports:
W/GooglePlayServicesUtil(10401): Google Play Store is missing.
Shouldn't the call to GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable() also ensure that the Play Store is installed? That seems like a huge oversight on Google's part if it doesn't.
Any help is appreciated.
In case someone came here by accident or was just wondering why it was not working...
This could happen when user had old Android Market installed, which was replaced by Google Play Store.
Here is relevant issue: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=4862 (fixed in february update).
