Many thanks Atsushi Using the -v switch I discovered that the debug.keystore generated fingerprint is valid onlyfor 36days after the date of the debug.keystore file As teh one in users\me\.android is date may 2010 then the generated fingerprint is out of date.
Any idea how I can get an up to date debug.keystore file The android sdk manager is up to date Tia John Murray -----Original Message----- From: monodroid-boun...@lists.ximian.com [mailto:monodroid-boun...@lists.ximian.com] On Behalf Of Atsushi Eno Sent: 08 January 2013 13:42 To: Discussions related to Mono for Android Subject: Re: [mono-android] Google maps with MfA need for api key and getting lat and long You can reuse the latest Google Maps v2 binding from Tom.
