I am on the way of creating a web based android application and I would like to integrate Google Map in my app. I got my api key also, but still I am getting the grey squares instead of the actual map.Also there is an error message that I have given below

In console I am getting this message

[2012-12-17 17:37:28 - Google] ActivityManager: Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] cmp=com.example.google/.MapsActivity }
[2012-12-17 17:37:28 - Google] ActivityManager: Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front

This is my logcat:

  • "Warning: Activity not started, its current task has been brought to the front" is shown when your application is already running and you try to run it again. – MysticMagicϡ Dec 17 '12 at 12:14
  • But even after I restarted eclipse also, I am getting the same error – thampi joseph Dec 17 '12 at 12:15
  • Its not an error. Its just a 'warning' to tell you that you're trying to run the same app from eclipse and the code hasn't changed, so no compilation is done. You can ignore that. – Aballano Dec 17 '12 at 12:16
  • Thank You, But could you please tell that Why I cannot access Google map, Now i am getting simple squares only in a gray background – thampi joseph Dec 17 '12 at 12:19

As I mentioned in the comment, that's not an error and neither is linked with your problem.

You should check that you're following the guide of the new Android Maps, also check that your api key is well written.

EDIT: You can also check this post for more info.

  • These are ignorable too, I always get them when trying to invoke a Map in my apps. – Aballano Dec 17 '12 at 12:26

...or use a free library that does not need any API keys or other things: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libwlocate/ is lightweight, supports OSM, Google Maps, Google Sattelite, comes with full support for zooming/moving and an example implementation that demonstrates functionality.
