Google Awareness API, Invalid API key, Crash

Question

This is my first attempt at creating an android application. In trying to use the Awareness API provided by Google I receive a SecurityException in logcat, and the error:

Answer 1

It seems like your API_KEY is set up incorrectly in the AndroidManifest: note that the right package name is

"com.google.android.awareness.API_KEY"

and not

"com.google.awareness.API_KEY"

as you seem to have it. See https://developers.google.com/awareness/android-api/get-started
