How to integrate Google maps in my Android App

Question

I am working on Android Application, in which there is a requirement of displaying map. I am working for 3 days to integrate but not getting any positive result.

I followed this tutorialGoogle Maps Android API v2 . But when i run the my app. its simply giving exception as

IOException processing: 26
java.io.IOException: Server returned: 3

at android_maps_conflict_avoidance.com.google.googlenav.datarequest.DataRequestDispatcher$DispatcherServer.run(DataRequestDispatcher.java:1702)

Here is My code:

Activity:

public class DisplayMap extends  MapActivity{

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.mapView);
    }

    @Override
    protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
        return false;
    }
}

Xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <com.google.android.maps.MapView 
        android:id="@+id/mapView"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:clickable="true"

I created the map using debug.keystore. Can any one help me please...

Answer 1

Use Google maps v2

      <fragment  
      android:id="@+id/map"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="match_parent"
       android:layout_below="@id/rg_views"
      android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
      />

and A.java

Googlemap gm;

gm = ((SupportMapFragment)(getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))).getMap();

A complete tutorial can be seen in this. http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidGoogleMaps/article.html

And also in manifest file, set of permissions to be given

<uses-permission android:name=".LocationGoogleMapV2Demo.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"/>

<uses-feature
    android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
    android:required="true"/>

use this code for the google map I am doing this from the androidhive.com

import com.google.api.client.googleapis.GoogleHeaders;
import com.google.api.client.http.GenericUrl;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;

        } catch (HttpResponseException e) {
            Log.e("Error:", e.getMessage());
            return null;
        }

    }

    /**

    public PlaceDetails getPlaceDetails(String reference) throws Exception {

            request.getUrl().put("reference", reference);
            request.getUrl().put("sensor", "false");

            PlaceDetails place = request.execute().parseAs(PlaceDetails.class);

            return place;

        } catch (HttpResponseException e) {
            Log.e("Error in Perform Details", e.getMessage());
            throw e;
        }
    }

    /**
     * Creating http request Factory

    public static HttpRequestFactory createRequestFactory(
            final HttpTransport transport) {
        return transport.createRequestFactory(new HttpRequestInitializer() {
            public void initialize(HttpRequest request) {
                GoogleHeaders headers = new GoogleHeaders();
                headers.setApplicationName("AndroidHive-Places-Test");
                request.setHeaders(headers);
                JsonHttpParser parser = new JsonHttpParser(new JacksonFactory());
                request.addParser(parser);
            }
        });
    }

}

And for the api key U can open androidhive.com and register to this..u can get the tutorial about the google map
