Google maps API Key won't display map

enter image description heretrying to display google maps in my application using the google maps API key but only seeing a blank screen. I'm certain I've done everything correctly, not sure whats missing... any help please? I've attached the 3 main files below: MainActivity.java, activity_main.xml, AndroidManifest.xml

The API key is not restricted, billing is enabled, permissions have been added in the manifest file..
