--PROBLEM SOLVED--
The Code Above will generate a simple map if you use a correct api
key. (Which I was using.)
Here is why the application wouldn't launch:
I ran the program with the phone plugged in using Eclipse->Run As-
>Android Application:
-This ran the map activity, but only displayed a grid
because the api key is designed to be used with a signed apk.
Running directly from eclipse installs an unsigned
package.
(I figured this was the case.)
-Then, I tried to install the apk via my web server and it spit out
a signature mismatch error.
-It also said it couldn't install the app in the app directory.
It turns out that running the application via eclipse on the phone and
then trying to install the apk triggers a signature error.
(I can only assume this is because the version run directly from
eclipse has no signature and the apk has a good one.
This conflict, I think, triggers an error. --invalid signature. The O/
S assumes the first signature is the good one?)
Solution:
I found the application via the settings manager and manually
uninstalled it.
It was identified as 'mymap.' (See Manifest Above)
Once I uninstalled it, the apk installed cleanly without any conflicts
and the map appeared .
Anyway, I hope this helps someone in the future.
It's Alive!
You guys are great,
Josh
