Obtaining Android Public Map API Key

I have been trying to obtain a public map api key for my Android app. However the public key that I receive from Google does not work. I have been using the following steps: Obtai

Solution 1:

You were sketchy on the last step, so you may want to look at the final two steps on this page:

If it still doesn't work, you may want to explain what is happening, and change the values, but you may want to show an example of one of your layout files and the android manifest, to see if you may have made a typo or something.

Solution 2:

You are following instructions for using the release signing key. Make sure you are building your APK in release mode. Normally, you build in debug mode and would use a Maps API key based on the debug signing key.
