MapView--No map display

[Guest lebnen]

I am new to SW development with Android.

Trying to have a MapView object in my display. Code is straightforward below. But for some reason when i launch the application i do not see any map but rather the grey grid.

I have looked at many posts on the internet and i understand that it is either an INTERNET permission (which is included in my coe) or a wrong apiKey. I have gone through the apiKey several time.

Am not sure what can be wrong. Any help would be great. Thanks, Lebnen.
