Google Maps Api android key

Question

Hi, I have some trouble testing my Android application which includes the google maps API. The ooficial API example worked just fine but if I copy the code into my own project it keeps saying: "The application has stopped unexpectedly". I looked up the key in the keystore several times and registered it with google. Even tried reinstalling the SDK. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Thanks in advance

PS: there are some exceptions following but none pointing to my code, everything in background processes.

Answer 1

Basically my code is:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    //connect to server

    //get current map scope

    //get media within map scope + a bit

    //init and show map
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    //add zoom controls
    mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);

    mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true); 


    //add menu
}

XML file line 6 would be:

<com.google.android.maps.MapView android:id="@+id/mapview" ...

followed by other lines of XML-parameters

Answer 2

First, do not answer your own question unless you are truly providing an answer. You can edit your question to add new materials, such as your longer stack trace.

Your exception is:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: You are only allowed to have a single MapView in a MapActivity

This is because you are only allowed to have a single MapView in a MapActivity, and apparently you have two or more.
