Google Maps Api Key code in Gituba
I want to publish my Android app to Github. The problem is that I am working with Google Maps Api and I have an api key in the project.
What do you recommend? Just remove the api key from the code?
Thank!

You can remove the API key from the code, but it would be difficult to keep it from the code when pushing to the repository.
I would create a new value resource file called keys.xml and move all your API keys. Then add keys.xml to gitignore so it never gets pushed. In AndroidManifest, you simply point to a string resource.
In your README repository, you can tell developers how to add their own API keys.
