Google Maps not appearing Android App — Actionbarsherlock + google play services

Question

I am trying to implement Google maps API V2, but the maps are not appearing. Fragment appears with +/- sign for zoom and Google written on the left hand side.

I wrote a simple code which should just show the maps. It shows the authentication failure in the logcat, but I am 100% sure that I did the right steps that are : 1) Started the Google Android API V2 Service 2) Obtained the Key, using SHA1;com.example.action (Package Name) of my project..

Please look at it and help ...

Answer 1

It is API key issue. Create the SHA using default debug keystore and get the API key and create the APK again on the same system.
