Was compiling another Android app as usual and suddenly my map screen looks weird and does not work - any idea why? http://s12.postimg.org/mopdy2m99/device_2013_09_15_091838.png Compiled with 2.1.8 server and plugins. Nothing new.

I tried to do that a while back but I think the guide was outdated or google was not giving out new API keys. Thanks Mark. David Comments No I don't think so, is there an updated guide?

If the new stuff, then you need to grab an Google Maps for Android v2 key from Google, and put that value in your manifest file. You'll need the SHA1 fingerprint from your signing key (release or debug). I haven't written up a tutorial with it yet. But make sure you follow the instructions that David included with the package, because you need to integrate Google Play Services. Comments Is your project using the new Android v3 code?

I had everything done except that and worked perfectly after that! Comments Yes Google Play and don't forget to enable it in the Google API's console.
