I am developing app for android and using MapActivity for google maps. But I am getting Error "Couldnt get connection factory client" . I explored several threads for this error, but couldnt get any satisfying answer. Here is my code:

I got the same error when I used in Emulator, so now I am using my mobile Device to run the app. I get same error. I am using Google API (2.3.3) for build target. Plz help.
Ok, I got the answer myself. But I really had to dig a lot. The problem was because of Google Map Api version. The code I have used works only with Api V1 which is deprecated. So, you have to either register your app under Version 1 and use that key in android manifest or use Fragment (version 2 android map code) to resolve this problem. I wish someone else had answered this before or in any other threads.
Anyways Enjoy.
