Android Maps API key is correct, yet map not displayed

TL;DR

We need to move

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

under

</application> 

Original question

Hi, I am a newbie in android development. I tried the "Hello Google Maps" tutorial and I am not able to view the map. I signed up for API key. I am using Eclipe which is installed in on the "D" drive. Used following command to obtain MD5 fingerprint from the bin folder of my jdk installation:

c:\program files\java\jdk 1.6\bin> keytool -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.android\debug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android

I got this fingerprint

21:17:B1:D8:01:BD:F2:5A:9F:C9:A3:01:96:FA:9A:5B

Used this to find the API key and got this

"0Gm7C3R3R2K1pmQGuGkS0rx582TWJEBdJwryFrA"

Used the following code in layout

<com.google.android.maps.MapView
             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_height="fill_parent"
             android:apiKey="0Gm7C3R3R2K1pmQGuGkS0rx582TWJEBdJwryFrA"
             />

Still map is not displayed. Please enlighten me on this. Thanks in advance

              android:label="@string/app_name"

</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />

It seems to be a problem of some permissions in your manifest, here is a working example of an AndroidManifest.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <manifest package="<your package>"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

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

    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" /> 

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon"
                 android:label="@string/app_name" 
                 android:debuggable="true">   

      <activity android:name="<package>.Activity"
                android:label="@string/app_name"
                android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
      </activity>

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

    </application>

  </manifest>

Look into your manifest and check if :

• the INTERNET permission is there
• the uses-library is there

Also make sure you run it on an emulator with a Google API image otherwise you are not going to have Google Maps installed on the emulator.

Update: Just spotted the mistake. It is not ACCESS_INTERNET but only INTERNET for the permission. So android.permission.INTERNET.
