Question

My android app is using MapView and hence using the google api's. Problem is that for testing my app I have to export apk file with my keystore , install the app in device and then run it for checking the output and it consumes a lot of time. Is there a better way to do it using eclipse??

Was it helpful?

Solution

yes there is.

create a a 'debug maps key' using the debug.keystore located on your user folder, something like:

    /Users/<username>/.android/debug.keystore

OTHER TIPS

Follow the lines on this page https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/mapkey#getdebugfingerprint

And register a map key for debug here https://developers.google.com/android/maps-api-signup

This way, you'll get a debug map key which you can use for your mapview during debug.
