Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue

I search all days and I can't find the answer...

everything is ready but google map still can't show on fragment with tab

I check that I already turn on google map android v2 and right API_KEY

I have no idea what happened!

    <!-- end -->

Solution:

I found the solution!!!

If you use private keystore to apply API_KEY. You cannot upload and install application with eclipse.

You need to upload .apk file to your device by yourself and install it!

Thanks Tarsem and srikanth gr help!!


it sounds like you have problem with your API_KEY which is obtained from Google API Access ,so verify your API_KEY , certificate fingerprints and package name

also use this inside <manifest>

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

and also verify: <meta-data .... > should be inside <application> tag


PS.

1. Also try by adding following Permission

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>

2. After changing API key in AndroidManifest.xml Must Clear Application Data

To Clear Application Data :

Either Go to Settings>Application Manager>Select Your Application > Click on Clear Data

Or Must Uninstall The Application before installing it ! Note Don't Re-install unless you Completely Uninstall the Application in order to clear its Data completely


I spent so much time, there are too many similar questions.

I tried to add own permission, WIFI_STATE permission, but the real problem was in application data.

After you change API key in manifest, you MUST "Clear data" of your application (or completely re-install).

This helps me and I hope this post will help somebody.


My problem was solved by adding permission to the manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>

I have the same issue, and my problem was that I didn't activate the service in the console:

  1. Go to console: https://code.google.com/apis/console/
  2. Go to services section
  3. Enable Google Maps Android API v2
  4. Follow all the steps in the documentacion

If you are have a problem with auth, check in Logcat your package name. If you use Android Studio check out your build.gradle. When file contains applicationIdSuffix '.dev'. You should add .dev to your package name.

e.i. package name is:

com.company.main

In API console write

...9S.ME.DA.FE;com.company.main.dev
