title: API Key failure when running Google Map app on Android Phone
body: <p>I am trying to create a map app with the GOOGLE API, for use on android devices, but I'm fairly new to this so have been following tutorials to get me started. I fixed my initial problem, however another one has appeared and I can't find what's wrong / how to change it!</p>
  
  <p>When running the app through a mobile, it loads onto the phone fine, a screen loads (the sort of beige colour you see when google maps is loading) as well as the logo and zoom controls. But stops after this and displays the following error in LogCat:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Authorization Failure. Please see <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start</a> for how to correctly set up the map.</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Ensure that the following correspond to what is in the API Console: Package Name: com.example.myapp, API Key: [my api key], Certificate Fingerprint [my code]</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue (but could be due to network errors).</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have completed the steps on the link and checked my code and made sure all those details match, but it's still not working.</p>
  
  <p>This is probably a very basic error, but how would I go about resolving this / Am I looking in the correct place?</p>
  
  <p>[Code no longer here; had to delete it]</p>
