Got my app running on Android but can't get maps set up I think this is the error but can't work out what it means Anyone out there have any clue? BT_screen_map:onCreateView EXCEPTION (1) java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4030500 but found 0. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Hi Chris, Can you send me your AndroidManifest.xml file like I requested in the PM so I can compare it to mine? I'd like to figure out if there are any differences. Thanks! Mark

I have recompiled the project and gone through everything from scratch I will send you the Android Manifest to have a look at

Just sent it

That has done something but I am getting an error that google play services are not there but I have added the library and made the association as per the guide "The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included."

Have you updated your Google Play Services? 1) They need to be the latest 2) Any updates seem to require a project 're-connect' when they're finished updating. Good Luck! Cheers! -- Smug

I have found that I can get the maps working with my debug.keystore but it doesn't work with the release keystore I made. I made a keystore as per instructions and I don't think it works

getting dalvik format error now Arghhh!!!

If it works with one, it should work with the other. Keep trying; it shouldn't be long now. Cheers! -- Smug

i can't seem to be able to export my project now i get this dalvik error 1 message

clean rebuild and it works! Not sure how I got there but thanks to all the tips and help I've made it! Thanks guys

Good catch, Smug, and way to rock it Chris! Sorry to have dropped you guys in mid debug...haven't been feeling well lately, so I've not been online as much. As far as the key thing goes...keep in mind that you have to sign your app with the same keystore that you use to generate the API key. They have to match, or it won't work. Mark

What I did was start again with the API keys, once I had a two keys debug and release it suddenly worked.
