Hi Sudha,Nageshwar
First of all i would like to thank to "Mr.Matthias" for the valuable
information.
I too faced the same problem like you people, now i got the
solution for this.
The reason behind this problem is, Android has announced on oct 22nd
2008 that, If your application uses one or more Mapview elements, you
will need to register your application with the Google Maps service
and obtain a Maps API Key, before your MapView(s) will be able to
retrieve data from Google Maps. To do so, you supply an MD5
fingerprint of your signer certificate to the Maps service.
I have gone through the process, Now i am getting the 'MAP'. The
procedure i followed to get the Map is as follows,
While registering for android Maps, we need to give your applications
"MD5 Fingerprint" to get the API key,
I) First of all we need to give our application MD5 Fingerprint
while
signingup the key
http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html
II) To find your Application MD5 Fingerprint of the SDK Debug
Certificate follow these steps.
1) You have to go to your keystore first, to find you keystore
path
in Eclipse :
"debug keystore" is located at select Windows > Prefs >
Android >
Build to check the full path
for eg:- The path may vary fo r different operiating
systems, like
following for Vista,xp and linux.
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android\debug.keystore
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local
Settings
\Application Data\Android\debug.keystore
OS X and Linux: ~/.android/debug.keystore
2) To goto that particular path you found in the first step.
Now,
goto command prompt and
for eg:-
"C:\Users\<user>> cd
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android" it
will go to that path as follows
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android>
3) After second step, at command prompt, Here is an example of a
Keytool command that generates an MD5 certificate fingerprint for the
key alias_name in the keystore my-release-key.keystore
for eg:- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Android>keytool
-list -alias
androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass
android
it will generate you applications "fingerprint". Now
copy this
"fingerprint" to the api key signup.
4) To register for a Maps API Key, follow these steps:
load this page in a browser:
http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html
If you don't have a Google account, use the link on the
page to set
one up.
Read the Android Maps API Terms of Service carefully.
If you agree
to the terms, indicate so using the checkbox on the screen.
Paste the MD5 certificate fingerprint of the
certificate that you
are registering into the appropriate form field.
Click "Generate API Key"
You will get the apiKey, copy that key to your
MapView.xml
After all you will get the map as earlier.
