Android MapActivity "Couldn't get connection factory client"

Question

Couldn’t get connection factory client

I try to use Android MapActivity so I created my API Key from my Debug.keystore MD5 via this link https://developers.google.com/android/maps-api-signup

Then I set this line of code in my Manifest:

Child of Application

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

set my permission like this

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ASSISTED_GPS" />

and set MapView like this with my api key

<com.google.android.maps.MapView
        android:id="@+id/mapview"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:apiKey="MY API KEY"
        android:clickable="true" />

In the Java file, MapActivity, I did my code from example like this:

locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    // Define the criteria how to select the locatioin provider -> use
    // default
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, false);
    Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
if (location != null) {
        System.out.println("Provider " + provider + " has been selected.");
        onLocationChanged(location);}

My code used to work fine. I could set my pin point via overlayItem but after I came back to view my code again with doing nothing with my MapActivity,it doesn't work anymore. My LogCat show me like MapActivity "Couldn't get connection factory client"

I get to /.android Folder and deleted my debug.keystore and gen my new API Key again from it but It still doesn't work.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Edit: More information, the location always be null.

Not sure if this is a solution but it work for me now. I just changed an user-permission order in AndroidManifest file from

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_GPS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_ASSISTED_GPS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

to

     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_LOCATION" />
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION" />

Just move

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

to the top.

edit: OMG the problem has come back again!! This is not a solution.
