Failed to Load Map. Error Contacting Google Servers. This Is Probably an Authentication Issue

Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue

it sounds like you have problem with your API_KEY which is obtained from Google API Access ,so verify your API_KEY , certificate fingerprints and package name

also use this inside <manifest>

<uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true" >
    </uses-feature>

and also verify: <meta-data .... > should be inside <application> tag

---

PS.

1. Also try by adding following Permission

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

2. After changing API key in AndroidManifest.xml Must Clear Application Data

To Clear Application Data :

Either Go to Settings>Application Manager>Select Your Application > Click on Clear Data

Or Must Uninstall The Application before installing it ! Note Don't Re-install unless you Completely Uninstall the Application in order to clear its Data completely

Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers issue with android google maps api v2

Found it after all, after turning off WiFi on the device I was using. It seems that when debugging over WiFi you also need the

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

in the manifest. Don't know if it was just my case or it's a general thing, but I guess it should be in the documentation somewhere (it's not).

So if you are reading this and having similar problems try either disabling WiFi or adding the above permission alongside the others.

GoogleMap V2 Failed to load map.Error contacting Google servers

I solved these problem by doing the following steps:

• In Emulator:

  You have to use the latest API Google APIs(Google Inc.)-API Level
19.

  Do the rest of the things placed in the screenshot itself.

  

• API Key:

  Create New API Key and Check carefully about Google Map API key and SHA Key.

• Google Play Services:

  You have to download the latest Google Play Services
  com.android.vending-4.8.20.apk.In that site if google play
  services wasn't working means you can find a lot of sites in
  internet named com.android.vending 4.8.20.apk.

  you can run the Google play Services by using the Command Prompt
  adb install com.android.vending 4.8.20.apk.

  Note: You have to download the latest Google play services because year by year latest version will be updated in internet.

Android Google Map: Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers

I would try generating a new API key using the SHA1 from the debug keystore in the .android directory; it is called debug.keystore and should be located in the following directory:

• OS X and Linux: ~/.android/
• Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\your_user_name\.android\

Once you locate it you can get the SHA1 with the following command:

• OS X and Linux: keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

• Windows Vista and Windows 7: keytool -list -v -keystore "%USERPROFILE%\.android\debug.keystore" -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android

Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. problems with 1 pc

This is an API-KEY authentication issue.

You need to get your SHA1 for this pc and put it in your Google developer consoleproject. Or re-generate a new API key.

Google Maps not showing in my app , and appear in another app

I just tested your code and it works without problem on my end using an emulator. All I changed was setting the activity as launcher and removing the third-party dependencies.

Please test the below code, which is basically your own code without dependencies:

MapActivity

public class MapActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
    static final LatLng HAMBURG = new LatLng(53.558, 9.927);
    static final LatLng KIEL = new LatLng(53.551, 9.993);
    private GoogleMap map;
    Button select;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_map);

        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);

        select = (Button) findViewById(R.id.select);

        select.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent();
                setResult(RESULT_OK, intent);

                finish();
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        map = googleMap;
        map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(HAMBURG).title("Marker in Delhi"));
        map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(HAMBURG));
    }
}

If the above code works for you then you can rule out network-related or emulator/device-related issues (if it doesn't then please look into those).

Thereby the root cause is either those library dependencies I removed or your API key. Make sure that you added your unrestricted API key to your google_maps_api.xml files (in both debug and release folders), that Maps SDK for Android is enabled on your project and that your billing account is in good standing.

Hope this helps you!

Authorization failed. Failed to load map. Could not contact Google servers. (Google Map for Android)

Okay, so I have been doing it correctly. It's just that I've been compiling it to a 3.2 android device instead of a 4.0 device, and now it works! I just don't understand the reason why 3.2 version with API level 15 won't give result when my targetSdkVersion is 17?
