If you already have the key got the link below and add the fingerprint along with your android project package name

You also need to login to your google account

https://code.google.com/apis/console

Click on create new key. Add the fingerprint along with your android project package name.

You can see the api key above

Enable google map api v2 from services tab.

Then in manifest file under application tag

 <meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
android:value="my key"/>

Answer 5

Visit the API Console

Login with your Google acocunt and click the API Access tab. Your API key is listed there.

You will also need to enable Google Maps Android API v2 service for your API key. You can do that on the services tab via the toggle button.

You are trying to use google map of api v1 which is already deprecated as stated here so you can't generate new api key if your existing api key is wrong.so kindly move towards google map of api v2
