title: Using one Google Maps API key for different android applications
body: <p>I just generated the Google Maps API key to use in my android app. I had to provide the SHA-1 fingerprint and the package name for the application. It looked something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>BB:0D:AC:74:D3:21:E1:43:67:71:9B:62:91:AF:A1:66:6E:44:5D:75;com.example.android.mapexample
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see I had to provide the package name for the app. So, does this mean that I need to get a different API key for different applications?</p>
  
  <p>PS: Curiously, somehow, Google generated two API keys for the SHA-1 and package name combination I entered. Is this normal? And so, which one should I use?</p>
