I am very new to android development and i got stuck in whether to use android key or browser key for place autocomplete for google place api. It would be very good if somebody can help since on google place api documentation(https://developers.google.com/places/android/signup) it is written that
Note: You need an Android API key, not a browser key. You can use the same API key for your Google Maps Android API v2 apps and your Google Places API for Android apps.
but at another place(http://codetheory.in/google-place-api-autocomplete-service-in-android-application/) it is written that
Places API doesn’t work with Android or iOS API key
Please Help !!!
If you're using the web service, use your browser key. If you're using the Android library, use your Android key.

I want to programmatically store a part of Google Map for offline use in my app.
This feature is in Google Maps app, but I didn't know how to add it in my app
I wish to create a maps app which allows people to geotag media to it such as music or photos. The map should also be stylised accordingly to this design here: https://snazzymaps.com/style/151/ultra-light-with-labels What are the steps I need to take to create such an app using the google maps sdk?
Thanks
I think it is not possible or the Google Maps Android API does not support custom styles, The only one that you can change here is the Map types (Normal, Hybrid, Satellite, Terrain). Only the Google Maps JavaScript API can support this style maps.
If you check this thread, you will see here that it is already requested to have a custom style maps in Google Maps Android API. Just check it always if there is an update about here.
I did search the forum for a while but i did not find an answer for this. Recently, Google has changed its Maps API for android from v1 to v2. Since i started the project way before March, i was not aware they would not accept new apps working on the old API. Hence, it's just after i finished my app that i realized the Maps API key was tied to the keystore, and i cannot get a new Map API key for v1 now. And i would have to recode the entire thing to translate it to v2, which i cannot do right now.
My question is, is it possible to doublesign the .apk file and submit it to Google Play. Let's say i have a working .apk signed with my debug keystore. However, the .apk will not be accepted by Google because it uses the debug key. Can i then "resign" it with jarsigner to force Google Play to accept it? Will the app still work if i do this? Really would appreciate help for this asap. I don't have a timeline to recode the app now, and i really want to get visibility for the app in Google Play :/
Can you “doublesign” an android apk file?
No. You can always sign the APK with any key, but that will just override old key.
And i would have to recode the entire thing to translate it to v2
Unfortunatelly there is nothing else you can do except just that if you don't have a signing key and Maps v1 API key.
I have made an app on Nokia S40 using Lwuit library. My app is also on Facebook and exists individually too. I need to get my Facebook friends who are using that app from Facebook.
I know how vague this question is, but I need a script JSON query to be able to get them.
Unfortunately, I have no knowledge about Facebook API.
I know my App ID and access token.
The Facebook API never worked properly in LWUIT because of several inherent bugs in the HTMLComponent and OAuth code. We fixed all of those in Codename One but backporting this isn't practical.
I suggest checking out Codename One and the facebook demo therein.
hi i want to use googlemaps 5.0 (3D view(Street view) )in my android app .is it possible .please share some resources or tutorial that how to use them
Have you already checked out googles official documentation?
http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/maps-overview.html
No, it is not possible. The Google Maps app and the maps add-on for app development are separate. The only thing you can do is open Google Maps to a given location via the geo or google.streetview URI schemes.
