Starting October 21 or so Google protects it's maps from unauthorized
usage by Google Map API key.
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-android-maps-api-terms-of-service.html
Basically all you have to do is to sign your keystore with java
keytool then obtain a key for your private key from Google and add
this Google key into your code.
This is better described here:

Let me know if this helped.
