I have a question, when i download the source code and open in eclipse, i dont have the line GOOGLE_MAPS_FOR_ANDROID_V2_API_KEY_GOES_HERE in android AndroidManifest.xml (like in my app hosted in bt.com) Instead of, i have the line in resvaluesstring.xml like this old document : http://www.buzztouch.com/resources/Obtaining_a_Google_Maps_API_Key_v1.0.pdf Is this normal ? I downloaded this https://www.buzztouch.com/BT-server/BT-server-3.0.0.zip Another question, what an API Calls means ? I download the source code of my app just one time today, and i have 3 api calls, why ?

Smugwimp wrote in another thread: 06/05/14 02:31 PM (1 month ago) 1) Get a Google API v2 key for your BTv3 Android project. Use it as a 'release' key. 2) Enter the API Key in your AndroidManifest.xml file 3) Change 'android:debug = true' to FALSE (in AndroidManifest.xml) 4) Leave your strings.xml file alone 5) Maps will never work in an emulator; use a real device.

When you go to get your Google API key, you need your SHA1. There's 2 places in Eclipse to do that: In Eclipse > Preferences > Build... and in File > Export > last screen before actually exporting the .apk. The File > Export > last screen is the SHA1 to use. The Eclipse > Preferences > Build SHA1 is useless! Thing is, you have to do File > Export > last screen before actually exporting the .apk to get the SHA1... then you copy that, paste it into AndroidManifest.xml... quit the File > Export screen, and start that again!! And Clean!!! Then the exported .apk Maps will work. Comments I just did this, for the second time in 30 days, and just wrote about it in another thread, which I now cannot find.
