Can anyone help here - I was experimenting trying to devise a way I could use Google Maps API to get a Lat and Long from a touch on a map.
1) am I right in saying that in Mono For Android I need a map api 2) if so I have followed the advice on Xamarin site http://docs.xamarin.com/Android/Guides/Platform_Features/Maps_and_Location/O btaining_a_Google_Maps_API_Key viz step 1 Obtain signing key fingerprint keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore debug.keystore -storepass android -keypass android this appears to produce a valid fingerprint for the debug 58:90:25:17:81:61:0F:77:04:22:32:70:05:A3:8A:1D:B4:76:CA:8A the only oddity I notice is that on the Xamarin documentation example the key is preceded by (MD5) whereas my key says (SHA1) step 2 enter the resulting key in https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/v1/maps-api-signup Unfortunately I get an invalid message "The fingerprint that you entered is not valid. Please press the Back button on your browser and enter a valid certificate fingerprint" I notice this is V1 and it is deprecated from 3 December 2012 and will disappear from March 2013 but that means it should still work right now So that can't be the problem I have tried going to the V2 console here https://code.google.com/apis/console/#project:326860401265:access but entering the fingerprint after pressing the 'create new Android key' still give 'Your input was invalid So can anyone give me any pointers please? Is there any easier way to achieve the getting lat and long from a map without all this palaver? John murray
