Google Maps Android API v2 showing blank map

Question

I am trying to implement a simple map and I have already added all the user permissions in my manifest file and enabled Google API V2.Still it is showing a blank map only.

list_doctor.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="10dp" >



    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>

list_doctor.java

public class listDoctor extends Activity implements OnMapReadyCallback{
    private MapFragment fragment;
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.listdoctor);
        try {
            // Loading map
            initilizeMap();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    /**
     * function to load map. If map is not created it will create it for you
     */
    private void initilizeMap() {
        if (fragment == null) {
            fragment = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));
            fragment.getMapAsync(this);
            // check if map is created successfully or not
            if (fragment == null) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                        "Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                        .show();
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        initilizeMap();
    }

    @Override
       public void onMapReady(GoogleMap map) {
        LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-33.867, 151.206);

        map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(sydney, 13));

        map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                .title("Sydney")
                .snippet("The most populous city in Australia.")
                .position(sydney));
    }

}

logcat Error

Answer 1

You have missed something related to API_KEY generating and using. Please re-check if you have generated API_KEY properly for your package name com.winthrop. You can refer steps at : here

Answer 2

Try this

Create SHA1 & API Key

1. Open Command prompt.
2. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_37\bin> keytool -list -v -keystore "your path" \.android\debug.keystore"
3. Get SHA1: "XXXX..."
4. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/
5. Create project and create Android key
6. Paste your SHA1 key end with semi colon and paste your project package name (ex 11:23....;com.example.googlemapversion2)
7. Get API key.

Create xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<fragment
    android:id="@+id/map"
    class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</RelativeLayout>

your activity class

package com.example.googlemapversion2;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

// Google Map
private GoogleMap googleMap;
double latitude;
double longitude;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    try {
        // Loading map
        initilizeMap();

        Log.i("Sucess", "Map");

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}


private void initilizeMap() {
    if (googleMap == null) {
        googleMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
        MarkerOptions marker=new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).title("Map View");
        googleMap.addMarker(marker); 
        googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        // check if map is created successfully or not
        if (googleMap == null) {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                    "Sorry! unable to create maps", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                    .show();
        }
    }
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    initilizeMap();
}
