Getting started
Android
Add your Google Maps API key to your AndroidManifest.xml.
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="YOUR API KEY" />
Following permissions should be added to your AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
If you plan to use the automatic route calculation, a valid key for the Google Maps Directions API is required. You can set it up anywhere in your PCL, simply call GmsDirection.Init("YOUR API KEY");.
If you plan to use the NativePlacesApi make sure you have a valid key for the Google Places API and set the key in your AndroidManifest.xml. Replace the following line
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="YOUR API KEY" />
with
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="YOUR API KEY" />
Make sure you call
TKGoogleMaps.Init(this, bundle);
