title: Failed to contact Google map servers
body: <p>I know this has been asked and answered many times but despite following lots of solutions on here I still can't get past this error:
   <code>Failed to load map. Could not contact Google servers</code></p>
  
  <p>I've set "Google Maps Android API v2" and deleted then regenerated the debug.keystore before trying with a new key but no further forward.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas what I'm missing?</p>
  
  <p>My <code>activity_main.xml</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
