I am trying to get hands on with android google map V2 with the sample code given by google .

I am able to build the code without any error in eclipse . (I have followed the steps given in the tutorial) . When i am trying to run that in samsung tablet 4.1.2 google map is not being rendered with error "Failed to contact Google servers. Another attempt will be made when connectivity is established."

But when i run the same code on samsung tablet having android version 2.3 it works fine and google map is being rendered .

  • Sounds like your api key is incorrect, although then it shouldn't work on Android 2.3 neither. Maybe check if the api key is saved in some folder like values-v8 – Stefan de Bruijn Jul 09 '13 at 10:27

    It is an example. It probably does not exists. Point is, check if you are actually using a key, and the correct one, on the Android versions that do not work. Read how the /res/ folder works with supporting multiple versions. – Stefan de Bruijn Jul 09 '13 at 12:27

This is very late reply but just wanted to put it here as I was stuck with the same problem and my error log saying 

     04-17 21:07:50.422: E/Google Maps Android API(4471): Authorization failure.  Please see 
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start for how to correctly set up the map.
    04-17 21:07:50.422: E/Google Maps Android API(4471): Ensure that the following correspond to what is in the API Console: Package Name: com.example.mapdemo, API Key: AIzaSyCvGBr5in13NK2yYBR7lhXTtnxj3mrXQy4, Certificate Fingerprint: 0347A985F68AE96A56ABE71E95A6F632CB13A212

Refer to the key generation process for the app here and it can be resolved by putting the correct key in the manifest.
