Simplest way to integrate Google Map in your android application.

To create google map in your android You should do these following steps.

STEP 1:-  create your activity

This is sample example:-
public class GooglemapActivity extends MapActivity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MapView mMapView;
mMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
mMapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);

}

@Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
}

STEP 2:- create googlemap in your main.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/mapview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:apiKey="your google map key"
/>

STEP 3:- make some entries in your android.menifest

(a) Add the following as a child of the <application> element:

<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />

(b) add the following as a child of the <manifest> element:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

 cd C:\Documents and Settings\user\.android

(b) then run this command
     keytool -list -keystore debug.keystore
   it will ask for password then enter password : android
