hi guys having an issue with google maps and my android in eclipse, ive set it up with the api access and inserted the sha fingerprint with package name at the end, switched the google api maps v2 on, and inserted the key in the manifest file, but im still getting these screens with missing plugin on the app, any idea what im doing wrong https://www.dropbox.com/s/y7ni8oxyhfjls3y/Untitled-1.png

The work you detailed would be necessary to show marker pins on the map. The error you're getting, is about not getting the map plugin to go in the first place. Got to have the map plugin running in order to have marker pins on the map! I have seen this error on my end, if my config.txt file was not correct. The screen-cap is from the Simulator/Emulator that I use. I'm told: It NEVER does maps. And, never has on mine. You need to get the .apk on your device.

thanks dude, i havnt had a device to test on this week so ive been using the genymotion simulator, will try again with live device, thanks dude

I bought a Visual Land Android 4.1 device for $75USD. I bought a tablet, since I didn't want another "phone". And I wanted a bigger screen. I know it all adds up: $80 BT, $99 Apple Developer, $25 Google Play, iOS device (I have both iPhone 5S $700, and iPad $360), Android device $75. Curry's Blackpool lists three Android 4.1 and 4.2, 7-inch tablets for £99GBP. (In the US we have 8% sales tax, you have 20% VAT). ARCHOS 97 Cobalt 9.7" Tablet - 8 GB LENOVO S5000 7" Tablet - 16 GB GIGASET QV830 8" Tablet - Black Tesco Blackpool simple search also had an ARCHOS Tablet for £99GBP (£109 -£10). Having been a tourist in UK, I only know of those two stores, since Jessops closed. Unsure about H&M - or if you can get Android tablets at O2 or the other mobile phone stores, since tablets aren't "phones" per se. I know there's a lot of used stores, but you need 4.1 or better for testing.

cheers dude, i do have a galaxy s3 and android tablet in work that i can use, just couldnt bring them home this weekend, but to be honest im having so many problems with screens sizes on phones on android,i have some devices using small icons on large screens and vice versa, i havnt even started on the tablets yet lol.
