I am facing a very weird problem with my Google Maps API key on an app that has been working without problems for long. Now, when I run my app in AS, I get the very famous

Ensure that the "Google Maps Android API v2" is enabled

with cert_fingerprint package_name D6:C3:E6:F2:xxxx;com.yyy

BUT the problem is that when I do keytool on my keystore, the SHA1 displayed is FE:BF:BF:75:xxx

How comes that AS requests a non-existing fingerprint? I went as far as adding this key in Developers Console, but that doesnt change anything. I did Clean and Inavlidate caches, but to avail.

What is going wrong here?

If you are using Android Studio then just create a MapActivity using android studio and after creating it go into google_maps_api.xml and in there there will be a link given in comments. If you paste it in your browser, it will ask a few details to be filled and after that your API will be generated.

At the time of creating the new application. The SHA-1 and Package names are already in the link given so you do not need to know them. They will however be in your project in the resources > Values > google_maps_api.xml file which is completed when you follow the instructions on creating the project.

Follow this tutorial for creating SHA1 fingerprint for Google Map http://android-er.blogspot.in/2012/12/displaying-sha1-certificate-fingerprint.html

To generate SHA-1 fingerprint Certificate, enter the following:

keytool -list -v -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -alias androiddebugkey -storepass android -keypass android
