'RuntimeException: API key not found. Check that geo.API_KEY is in the AndroidManifest.xml
I am attempting to compile a simple map display on my my phone, but the app keeps closing. It seems that all my ducks are in a row, but I'm just stumped. This is my first time working with an API in Android Studio
Here is the manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.morticia.android.firstmap">
<uses-feature
android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
android:required="true" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.morticia.android.maptest_app"
android:value="AIzaSyBf3tEmdR18S-2v0E1i1x0oqcXJ9imntT4" />
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-permission>
</manifest>
And this is my MainActivity XML:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"
map:cameraBearing="112.5"
map:cameraTargetLat="40.7484"
map:cameraTargetLng="-73.9857"
map:cameraTilt="65"
map:cameraZoom="17" />
</RelativeLayout>
and finally MainActivity Java code:
package com.morticia.android.firstmap;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}
here are the logs as requested:

Any professional insights would be greatly appreciated
Thank you!
Solution 1:[1]
replace this code at your AndroidManifest.xml file
<meta-data
android:name="com.morticia.android.maptest_app"
android:value="YOUR_API_KEY" />
with
Google Maps Android API ENABLE
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="YOUR_MAP_API" />
or
Google Maps Geolocation API ENABLE
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="YOUR_GEO_API"/>
Solution 2:[2]
You should place
<application
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="<put your api KEY here"/>
...
and not in other position like for example under:
<application
<activity
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="<put your api KEY here"/>
Solution 3:[3]
I came across this but have been using EXPO, so the solution is a little diff: In a nutshell, you need to add the following 'config' for Maps to your package.json:
"android": {
"package": "com.YOUR_PROJECT_NAME",
"versionCode": 1.0,
"permissions": [
"ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION",
"CAMERA",
],
"config": {
"googleMaps": {
"apiKey": "YOUR API KEY GOES HERE"
}
}
},
See more info here: https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/sdk/map-view/
Solution 4:[4]
Add meta-data to <application> card in your AndroidManifest file:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="YOUR_API_KEY" />
Solution 5:[5]
Replace android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment" with class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" and try.
Solution 6:[6]
Check out this code
<application
android:name=".util.SmartBus"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:fullBackupContent="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="@string/googleMapKey"/>
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="false"
android:label="@string/title_activity_main"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar.NoActionBar" />
<activity
android:name=".activities.SplashScreenActivity"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
