Apps Gray grid on the screen instead of Map. I have API key

[gabor55]

Hello!
After I start my android application Google Map doesn't work. I've got API key from google, this key is written here: android:apiKey="054LgZN0XlQIYy......
In the LogCat I've found this error : Couldn't get connection factory client.

I've created a new .keystore file and I've pasted the new MD5 fingerprint into my browser, but I got the same API key.

I'm using Google API Level 8 and emulator in the Eclipse.

What did I wrong?

*edited: I've got another API key, but nothing has changed :S.

Make sure that location-based services are enabled in your settings and that "locate to street-view" or w/e if also enabled.

this is a good video series that will help you get the MapView to work properly:

i think there are two more after that to actually get the map running.

how do you start your android app? Assuming you're running it from eclipse. In that case you'll be picking up android debug key, which does not match your new key.

Right click project -> export -> export as APK
follow the instructions, provide your new key store and signing key when asked for. This will create APK that you can run in emulator. You can install the APK in emulator with adb command.
