Ensure that the "Google Maps Android API v2" is enabled.
Ensure that the following Android Key exists:
API Key: YOUR_KEY_HERE
Android Application (<cert_fingerprint>;<package_name>):

  • Output from keytool (debug local) local-keystore-output

Any ideas?

Check whether you have copy pasted your API key in google_maps_api.xml in values folder. From the error log(i'm assuming), your API key is shown as "YOUR_KEY_HERE", that's exactly the default value in the file. Please check.

Open the google_maps_api.xml and paste your api key at "YOUR_KEY_HERE". That will do it.
