Authorization failure while loading google maps v2 android

Question

I am making an android app with google maps:-

My steps:-

Main activity extends Fragment activity
Made a copy of Google play services library and imported it to eclipse.Further added a reference of the library to the project.
Enabled the build target of the project to Google API's 4.4.2
Created a browser key on Google API console.
Created an SHA1 certificate for the app in eclipse using the keytool plugin(Also verifies the key using the traditional command prompt technique and both match).
Created an android Api key on Google API console using the SHA1 key obtained

Issue:- I get a blank map on the screen with the zoom in and zoom out buttons

Here is my code:-

activity_main.xml:-

  <fragment

     class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"

    android:id="@+id/map"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@id/spr_place_type"

   />

AndroidManifest.xml :-

     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>

        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >


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

        <activity
            android:name="com.strangeworld.locatorapp.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>


          <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
            android:value="AIzaSyD2LVShEdbQWWV4......"/>

         <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"

    </application>

you should use `google map service for foryo` library if you want to use 'SupportMapFragment` — Coderji, Jan 10 '14 at 05:23
@Coderji that means i have to install the google map service for froyo and uninstall the google map service? — user3146095, Jan 10 '14 at 05:27
then the blank screen is because the gps is not activated on your device or the net may be not available — jyomin, Jan 10 '14 at 05:31
android:versionCode="3136110" android:versionName="3.1.36 (673201-10) — jyomin, Jan 10 '14 at 05:34
@user3146095 V2 is map version name, but do you have added updated google play service as library — Satyaki Mukherjee, Jan 10 '14 at 05:36
@SatyakiMukerjee well the google play services library shows in the android dependencies. DO i need to add it in the libs folder as well? — user3146095, Jan 10 '14 at 05:37
@user3146095 no if it is referenced then no need to add it to libs — Raghunandan, Jan 10 '14 at 05:38
@Raghunandan yes tehn its referenced. Do i need to install the google maps for froyo to make it work? — user3146095, Jan 10 '14 at 05:40
@Raghunandan While generating the key do i need to spicify the whole package name i.e. com.abcdm.locatorapp or just com.abcdm — user3146095, Jan 10 '14 at 05:52
@Raghunandan. I recreated the key and the key issue seems to solve it. I had not provided the complete package name. now the map shows but does not point to my current location. and I still get the Error:-The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included. — user3146095, Jan 10 '14 at 06:00
@user3146095 the issue is you have not referecnd the library project properly ie google play services — Raghunandan, Jan 10 '14 at 06:01
@user3146095 tell me how you referenced the library project. — Raghunandan, Jan 10 '14 at 06:06
@Raghunandan I copied the Google play service library project from C:\Users\myprofile\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject to the desktop. Futher in eclipse imported the project from the desktop, ticked copy project into workspace. Went to my map project properties, set build tager to google api 4.4.2 and below added the google services api library to the project — user3146095, Jan 10 '14 at 06:12
You copy the library project to the folder where you android project is. them import into eclipse and then reference the same — Raghunandan, Jan 10 '14 at 06:22
@Raghunandan I copies the folder into the folder where by project is ie: eclipse\otherWorkspace and then tried importing it i got the error:- Some projects cannot be imported because they already exist in the workspace — user3146095, Jan 10 '14 at 06:30
@Raghunandan can you post your answer for the package name change which helped resolve the map issue atleast so that i can mark it accepted — user3146095, Jan 10 '14 at 06:58

Your keystore is not appropriate or package name mistake in google api console, recheck once.

I rechecked them and they look fine – user3146095 Jan 10 '14 at 05:29
Delete the key and generate new one – VINIL SATRASALA Jan 10 '14 at 05:32
And in API services make all google maps services on – VINIL SATRASALA Jan 10 '14 at 05:32
are you sure making all google maps services on would not result into a conflict? because there is Google maps android API and just google maps api – user3146095 Jan 10 '14 at 05:34

Which type of keystore you are using? If you use debug key and published map looks blank. Use release key to publish.

Yes you need to mention the package name in the google api console

SHA;complete packagename

Also try regenerating the key

The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included

You need to reference the google play servies properly. Check this

Well the first part seems to have solved the visibility of the map. Though I still get the error for google play service resources. I cheaked the link too – user3146095 Jan 10 '14 at 07:07
@user3146095 if you see the map then it is working fine. Just clean and rebuild – Raghunandan Jan 10 '14 at 07:07
I did that too.. i even uninstalled the complete app from my device, clean and rebuild the project and installed it again. But at the runtime i get the same error – user3146095 Jan 10 '14 at 07:09
@user3146095 try suggestions by searching on stackoverflow. lots of similar posts. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18068627/logcat-message-the-google-play-services-resources-were-not-found-check-your-pr. Also test it on a real device – Raghunandan Jan 10 '14 at 07:10
@Raghunandan.. already tried all solutions on that page. didnt help though still get the error – user3146095 Jan 10 '14 at 07:17
@user3146095 i really don't know what other suggestions i can give – Raghunandan Jan 10 '14 at 07:19
