google map in android application

I am new at Android. I have been trying from many days to make very basic google map application but unable to complete it yet... :(
There are no errors in code, emulator running fine from terminal, Map key also fine but still I am unable to see the map. When I run my app only grid appears and map is not displayed. Here is the code, can any body please help me.

public class HelloGoogleMaps extends MapActivity { 
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */ 
    @Override 
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
    { 
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); 
        setContentView(R.layout.main); 
        MapView mapView =(MapView)findViewById(R.id.mapview); 
        mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true); 
    } 
    protected boolean isRouteDisplayed(){ 
        return false; 
    } 
}

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<com.google.android.maps.MapView 
            xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
            android:id="@+id/mapview" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_weight="1" 
            android:clickable="true" 
            android:apiKey="0fyF-qSuCtdQinoUGoFbLxZoTx10Tm-YV6m6A8g" 
/>

manifest file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    package="com.android.GoogleMaps" 
    android:versionCode="1" 
    android:versionName="1.0"> 

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/ 
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/> 
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/> 

    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"> 
        <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" /> 
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/> 
        <activity android:name=".HelloGoogleMaps" 
              android:label="@string/app_name" 
              android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"> 
        <!--<activity android:name=".HelloGoogleMaps" 
                  android:label="@string/app_name">--> 
            <intent-filter> 
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> 
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> 
            </intent-filter> 
        </activity> 
    </application> 
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" /> 
</manifest>

I think the problem is that you are using a wrong apk. You must use the apk generated by the emulator (eclipse in my case) and not the apk generated using the option "export". I think the problem is related to the key used to export the apk is not the same as the google maps api key. Try it.

PS: sorry for my bad English.

I have recently been through all of these. I as well tried everything mentioned but all that worked is -

Make sure you are not a behind a proxy and remove any proxy settings you made on the emulator. There's a bug that Google Maps doesn't work on Android Emulators behind a proxy.

Common issues are that you're using the wrong emulator (ie not the Google APIs one), have the wrong imports, have the wrong API key, don't have permissions in manifest, don't have uses library etc

I wrote up a newbies guide on this, have a look http://www.jameselsey.co.uk/blogs/techblog/android-how-to-display-a-map-the-easy-way/

Are you using the correct Google Maps key - if you use a debug key, the maps seem not to work.

You might have to regenerate the key without the --debug flag.

maybe this will help: Android MapView - tiles not loading with Debug API key
