title: Google Maps Not Showing On Android Device.
body: <p>So my problem is that the google maps is not showing on my android device which is using 3.2 API</p>
  
  <p>I've already tried to do most of not all the suggestions I found online while searching for a solution to this problem.</p>
  
  <p>I do have <code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/&gt;</code> in my manifest.</p>
  
  <p>I've followed the google written procedure to produce a signed key (<a href="http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html#setup" rel="nofollow">http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/app-signing.html#setup</a>) and obtained said key and put it in the layout <code>android:apiKey="0R8lbu8yQL1Wgw-13s5sUBXZXusi4mEY3EhqWWw"</code> And still I see gray tiles instead of the map.</p>
  
  <p>I know that the debug key works on AVD but not on the android device whereas the signed key is supposed to work on the device and not in the AVD.</p>
  
  <p>I'm willing to try another step by step procedure to make this work and if it does I'll be forever grateful.</p>
  
  <p>Please help! Thank you!</p>
  
  <p><strong>SOLUTION:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Was installing the wrong apk to device. Had to do:</p>
  
  <p><code>adb install &lt;your-file-name&gt;.apk</code> </p>
  
  <p>in the console</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p><code>Manifest File</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
