Android-failed to find provider info for com. Google. settings in mapview example

Problem:

Im trying to implement mapview example which is defined on Android Hello views example but now Im facing failed to find provider info for com. Google. settings error...

Solution:

The mapview example doesn't set API key by default. So you must set it. Here is step by step:

• Get MD5 from your system

  %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android 

• Get API key by pasting the generated MD5 to this page

  http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html 

• Paste the generated API key{Your_project_root}/RES/layout/map. xml

• InAndroidmanifest. xml, Make sure

  <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> inside <application> 

  And

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> inside <manifest> 

• Refresh your project and run

Note:

• The path of keytool.exe, debug. keystore and map. xml may differ on your system.
• If you publish your app, be sure to register another API key.
• If you don't set API key properly, your app will fail on phone and the error message probably is"... Has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.-force close"
