Google Maps V2 shows blank screen on android 2.2

android, android-maps, google-maps, google-maps-api-2

Solution

I finally found out what the problem was. I was picking the wrong debug keystore. I am working with an ubuntu machine. Since I opened eclipse as root, the default keystore in eclipse was located in my root folder(/root/.android/.android/debug.keystore) whiles I was creating the api key with the debug keystore from my user folder. I created a new api key with the debug keystore in the root folder and it works now.

Problem

I tried following a tutorial on Android Maps V2 Quick Start But when I run the app, a blank map screen is shown. My phone uses android 2.2.1. This is what shows in logcat: ``` 12-07 18:07:52.479: W/dalvikvm(1654): VFY: unable to resolve instance field 24 12-07 18:07:53.129: W/dalvikvm(1654): Unable to resolve superclass of Lmaps/a/du; (411) 12-07 18:07:53.129: W/dalvikvm(1654): Link of class 'Lmaps/a/du;' failed 12-07 18:07:53.139: W/dalvikvm(1654): Unable to resolve superclass of Lmaps/a/ej; (2363) 12-07 18:07:53.139: W/dalvikvm(1654): Link of class 'Lmaps/a/ej;' failed 12-07 18:07:53.139: W/dalvikvm(1654): Unable to resolve superclass of Lmaps/j/k; (2379) 12-07 18:07:53.139: W/dalvikvm(1654): Link of class 'Lmaps/j/k;' failed 12-07 18:07:53.149: E/dalvikvm(1654): Could not find class 'maps.j.k', referenced from method maps.y.ae.a 12-07 18:07:53.149: W/dalvikvm(1654): VFY: unable to resolve new-instance 3571 (Lmaps/j/k;) in Lmaps/y/ae; 12-07 18:07:53.389: W/dalvikvm(1654): VFY: unable to resolve direct method 14965: Ljava/io/IOException;.<init> (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V ``` Edit: This is the manifest.xml file: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.eunice.mapstry" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="17" /> <uses-feature android:glEsVersion="0x00020000" android:required="true"/> <permission android:name="com.eunice.mapstry.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/> <uses-permission android:name="com.eunice.mapstry.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/> <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"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/> <application android:allowBackup="true" 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.eunice.mapstry.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="AIzaSyBt_JE6_XIVR8-t0HrbhskeLrAVxSJst6c"/> </application> </manifest> ``` Edit: I have added an image of my google api console:
