<resources> <!-- TODO: Before you release your application, you need a Google Maps API key. To do this, you can either add your release key credentials to your existing key, or create a new key. Note that this file specifies the API key for the release build target. If you have previously set up a key for the debug target with the debug signing certificate, you will also need to set up a key for your release certificate. Follow the directions here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/signup Once you have your key (it starts with "AIza"), replace the "google_maps_key" string in this file. --> <string name="google_maps_key" templateMergeStrategy="preserve" translatable="false">YOUR_KEY_HERE</string> </resources>
