Ensure that the "Google Maps Android API v2" is enabled. I am getting this error when I try to Implement Google Maps

I am working on google maps and I am getting this error. I had done the following things:

1. Got My sha1 fingerprint.

2. Registered my project and got my project key.

I don't know to how to get Google Maps Android API v2 enable because all the links I have tried are old and Google had changed it's site design. Please help me. I already have wasted a lot of time on this.

My Logcat:

Authorization failure.  Please see developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/start for how to correctly set up the map.
E/Google Maps Android API: In the Google Developer Console (console.developers.google.com)


 Ensure that the "Google Maps Android API v2" is enabled.
 Ensure that the following Android Key exists:
   API Key: AIzaSyBK8rKr9lCRLhzv68I4Q26G9pHHO******

Solution 1:

From error it is clear that You did not enable google map api for android. To enable,

1. Login google developer console
2. Select Library option from left side panel.
3. Now you can see all API list and go to Google Maps APIs and select Google Maps Android API .
4. Now you can see option to enable/disable API. Enable it.

I hope it help you.

Solution 2:

Actually I had the same problem as well. my application runs and the map is blank!

First of all check whether you have installed Google Play in you android mobile.

actually I had the problem in API Key restrictions

Google Developer Console

1. Login to Developer Console.
2. In your Dashboard Navigation Menu.(left side)
3. Select API & Services > Credentials.
4. So you will be redirected to Credentials page were you can view all the API keys that you created (https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials)
5. Identify your Project API key and click on Edit Api Key.
6. Under that you can see the Key restrictions
7. From there remove all Application restrictions and Api restriction.

On your Android Mobile

1. Uninstall the App.

Android Studio

1. Build > Clean Project.
2. Build > Rebuild Project.
3. Run IT

This steps worked for me perfectly.
