Hello there,
Thanks for the response.
I debug using the actual device, but you are right. It probably
treats the phone as if it were the emulator in that case.
I've followed the directions and obtained an MD5 fingerprint of my
keystore.
I used the sign-up form and passed it the fingerprint in the form of
XX:XX:XX ... etc.
The form returned an api key, which I actually use in the place of
this:
MyMapView = new MapView
(this,"MyApiKeyDerivedFromKeystoreMD5");
Logcat isn't giving me any useful information that might help me
determine the
cause.
-Questions
-How can I trouble shoot my api key to be sure it is not the
root cause of the problem? (i.e. incorrect)
-Does anyone know if there really is a check against the api key that
would prevent the application from launching?
(This would mean that map activities require network access in order
to be launched?)
Thanks again,
Josh Beck
