Is it possible to set the Android Maps API v2 key programmatically?

Question

Is it possible to set the API v2 key programmatically instead of setting this value in the AndroidManifest file?

I was able to do this with API v1 keys but I can't find some method-constructor in the MapView to do this with the current API.

AFAIK this is not possible in Google API V2. The documentation suggest the same thing, the API key has to be assigned using the Manifest file:
