I have checked and double checked my APIkey that I registered on the Google Console however I am still getting the following error:
12-05 16:31:12.940: E/Goo
I had the same problem. I just simply missed this point: When you list your Google APIs services, there are three Google Maps API available.
Google Maps Android API v2
Google Maps API v2
Google Maps API v3
...
Check that you have Android version (Google Maps Android API v2) enabled, when you code for Android. Google Maps API v2 was not good enough.
