I am using Jetpack Compose and trying to integrate Google maps in my application. I have followed the documentation in setting up an API key. However, I am getting an error when building the project. On my local.properties file I have the following code:

MAPS_API_KEY=my_api_key

And on my AndroidManifest.xml I have the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.guidemetravelersapp">
<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/Theme.GuideMeTravelersApp">
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="${MAPS_API_KEY}" />
    <activity
        android:name=".homescreen.HomeScreen"
        android:exported="true"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_home_screen"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.GuideMeTravelersApp.NoActionBar" />
    <activity
        android:name=".registerview.RegisterView"
        android:exported="true"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_register_view"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.GuideMeTravelersApp.NoActionBar" />
    <activity
        android:name=".ExperienceDetailsView.ExperienceDetailsActivity"
        android:exported="true"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_experience_details"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.GuideMeTravelersApp.NoActionBar" />
    <activity
        android:name=".LoginView.LoginActivity"
        android:exported="true"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_login"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.GuideMeTravelersApp.NoActionBar" />
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:exported="true"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.GuideMeTravelersApp.NoActionBar">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>
But, this seems that it is not enough, because I get the following error when building the project to see the preview: 
java.lang.IllegalStateException: A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist.  You must have the following declaration within the <application> element:     <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

When I check the local.properties file it gives me a warning that the MAPS_API_KEY is not used. I am not sure how i can use it. I followed what the documentation says, but it is not working. For the map code I am trying to adapt the Crane sample to my project, which has a Google map.

@TicherhazFreePalestine yes, I already did those steps. I have an account and I already got my API key, I put my_api_key here on stackoverflow as to not share my actual API key. – Cointreau
Did you place the meta-data at the correct place ? – Shama
@TicherhazFreePalestine yes, under the application tag, correct? I added the whole code of the AndroidManifest.xml – Cointreau

Add this in your app module's build.gradle, in the defaultConfig closure:

android {
    ...

    defaultConfig {
        Properties properties = new Properties() 

        properties.load(project.rootProject.file('local.properties').newDataInputStream())
        manifestPlaceholders = [MAPS_API_KEY: "${properties.getProperty('MAPS_API_KEY')}"]
    ...
    }
}

And add this meta data in your manifest:

<meta-data
   android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"      
   android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Here is a project example on Github.

under the android{} section? @Thegn – Cointreau
unfirtunately, it didn't solve the error, and I am still getting the warning in the local.properties file :( @Thegn – Cointreau
hmm it still says that the property is not being used and throwing that error. I will take some time to check your project on github. @Thegn – Cointreau
The Exception is caused by the absence of the google play services version metadata, adding it in your manifest should solve it. Try cleaning your project and Gradle cache after adding the metadata and then rebuild it. – Thegn
I am no longer getting the error I described above. However, I am getting another one. Not sure if I have to create a new question to show this new error. @Thegn – Cointreau
If the errors are different, yes you should create another question and mark this one as solved if it is. – Thegn
hmm the thing is I am not quite convinced it solved, since I am still getting that warning in local.properties stating that MAPS_API_KEY is not being used. – Cointreau
the warning in your local.properties will not disappear because you are not directly referencing the MAPS_API_KEY in your app (you can't), you are using the Property instance to load it (the code you have added to your build.gradle. That warning will not cause your app to crash. Anyway, good luck. – Thegn
ok I see. In that case I marked your answer as accepted. – Cointreau
Bro that was pretty much given in the logs. If you read them – Runner
I mean that is why they are created isn't it? For developers? – Runner
Yes you are right @MARSK the google_play_services_version meta-data was given in the error's message. – Thegn

In your local.properties

MAPS_API_KEY=your_key_here_do_not_wrap_in_quote

Module level build.gradle

android {

    defaultConfig {
        Properties properties = new Properties()
        properties.load(project.rootProject.file('local.properties').newDataInputStream())
        manifestPlaceholders = [googleMapsApiKey: "${properties.getProperty('MAPS_API_KEY')}"]
    }
}

And finally in your AndroidManifes.xml

<application
   

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="${googleMapsApiKey}" />

</application>

This is answer is an update as of March 2024; I'll start over, step by step

In your local.properties file, add your api key, without quotes:

MAPS_API_KEY=apikeyexampleX3mUz3umlsWfUQjZFcQPT0iBV_xok

In your app module build.gradle.kts, set your key in default build configuration:

android {
    namespace = "com.example.app"
    compileSdk = 34

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId = "com.example.app"
        minSdk = 26
        targetSdk = 34
        versionCode = 1
        versionName = "1.0.0"

        testInstrumentationRunner = "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        vectorDrawables {
            useSupportLibrary = true
        }

        // load local.properties file
        val properties = Properties()
        properties.load(project.rootProject.file("local.properties").inputStream())
        // Set API keys in BuildConfig
        buildConfigField("String", "MAPS_API_KEY", "\"${properties.getProperty(" MAPS_API_KEY ")}\"")

    } 

    buildTypes {
            // set buildConfig to true
            android.buildFeatures.buildConfig = true
            debug {
                isMinifyEnabled = true // optional, set to true
            }
            release {
                isMinifyEnabled = true // optional, set to true
                proguardFiles(
                    getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
                    "proguard-rules.pro"
                )
            }
        }

...

Final personal thoughts:

  • Set isMinifyEnabled true, as this makes rewrites the source code of your app, making it hard for attacker to read it.
  • I find it a good practice to store api keys in the server, I find this more secure, when you also have secure server rules set.

I hope this helps, happy coding!

You didn't mention how to use it in AndroidManifest.xml which is the main question of the author – Lackey
imo its the same answer..he just put in update as of March but yes, forgot to copy the part for AndroidManifest.xml,lol – Asseveration
