ANDROID: Error W/DynamiteModule: Local module descriptor class for com.google.android.gms.googlecertificates not found

Question

I am trying to do a MapActivity using Android Studio. It has to show the user’s location.

Well, I know I need a key in order to use the API, and believe me, I changed that key at least four times… I also have the permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml.

The thing is I can show the map without the user’s location, but if I try to show his/her location, then the app compiles well BUT when I try to execute it, it stops and I obtain this error:

It mentions something about Google Certificates, and that is why I thought maybe it has something to do with the key… But I am not sure and I do not have idea what I am doing wrong.

Thank you for your help.

Ok, I will try to post some code... I have been changing the code all the time, but this is the last I tried (I also tried setMyLocationEnable(true), because getMyLocation() is deprecated, but I obtain the same error):

public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

    private GoogleMap mMap;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
        // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap;

        Location location=mMap.getMyLocation();

        double lat=location.getLatitude();
        double lon=location.getLongitude();

        // Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
        LatLng sydney = new LatLng(lat, lon);
        mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
        mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
    }
}

Thanks the person who answered me and the person who edited my comment... I still do not well how to format text...

Open the sdk manager, download/update google play services. And create a new emulator.
