Google Awareness API，无效的API密钥，崩溃

Question

This is my first attempt at creating an android application. In trying to use the Awareness API provided by Google I receive a SecurityException in logcat, and the error:

"Invalid API Key for package = com.example.android.project. Status code received = 12".

Meaning, mGoogleApiClient.connect() causes the app to crash every time. Is there anyway to know what the status code means?

[BaseServerTask]Server task (PingTask) got error statusCode=403.

This error does not make sense, because in the Developer Console I set the API key to have no restriction hoping it would solve this, ie not locked to any project and it still will not work. And the API is enabled in the console.

I've tried suggestions from other threads: Unable to connect to Google API CLient? , Receiving error when trying to connect with Google Awareness services , etc. But the problem remains.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements 
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, 
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks {


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

        // Connect to Awareness API
        mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .addApi(Awareness.API)
            .build();
        mGoogleApiClient.connect(); // the app crashes here

    }
}

Lastly my AndroidManifest:

    <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          package="com.example.android.project">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/appicon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@drawable/appicon"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.awareness.API_KEY"
        android:value="MY_API_KEY"/>
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="MY_API_KEY"/>
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

</manifest>

I don't know what to do, does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm testing this on an Samsung Galaxy S6, Android Version: 7.0

Answer 1

Print this to the console: (new Status(403)).getStatusMessage() . It should show status message of the error. Read more here

Answer 2

It seems like your API_KEY is set up incorrectly in the AndroidManifest: note that the right package name is

"com.google.android.awareness.API_KEY"

and not

"com.google.awareness.API_KEY"

as you seem to have it. See https://developers.google.com/awareness/android-api/get-started

Answer 3

If someone facing similar issue with correct manifest declaration as mentioned in Google here can try generating API key on Google Developer Console using debug keystore for testing purpose and replacing same with release keystore while going to production.

How generate API key? Please check out Google's word itself Here

Hope it will help someone in future.

Answer 4

In my case issue is resolved by adding following meta data tag in manifests.xml file

<meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.awareness.API_KEY"
            android:value="API_KEY"/>

And there must exist the following tag as well

<meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
            android:value="API_KEY" />

如果您在Google Play控制台的预启动报告中收到此错误，请在预启动设置中选中“选择停用生成启动前报告，其中X已重新签名”。
