Black GoogleMap, when trying to add it to an Fragment

Question

I have an problem, i want to display the GoogleMap into an Fragment. But when starting the app, the Map stays black. Only the little Google Logo is shown. So im doing it like this :

public class AndroidLauncher extends AndroidApplication implements RequestHandler,LocationListener,
    GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, OnMapReadyCallback {

private MapFragment mMapFragment;

public GoogleMap googleMap;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    mMapFragment = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map));

    if (mMapFragment == null) {
        mMapFragment = (MapFragment) MapFragment.newInstance();

        mMapFragment.getMapAsync(this);


        FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

        // flMap.getID(); returns the FrameLayout ID.

        fragmentTransaction.replace(flMap.getId(), mMapFragment, MAP_FRAGMENT_TAG);
        fragmentTransaction.commit();

    }

}

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap gMap) {

    googleMap = gMap;

    if (googleMap != null) {

        final LatLng markerPosition = new LatLng(26.9124857, -101.4180168);
        googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(markerPosition)).showInfoWindow();

    }

}

I only posted the most important stuff, there more, like an Layer for sprites, but i think thats not the problem...

When i start the app, my map looks black like this :

Whats wrong with it :/ ? I already added the API key like this in the manifest :

<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />
<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

did u enable Google map android api in developer panel and add SHA1 and package name properly? — rafsanahmad007, Feb 18 '17 at 17:55
@rafsanahmad007 yep, i activated the key in the google developer console. I also added path and sha1... — genaray, Feb 18 '17 at 18:02
