Google Maps blank in Android

Question

I integrated Google Maps in my Android app using the maps api but when I launch it stays blank and also showing the Google Logo(see picture). this is what the app shows

In builde app gradle I have:
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

In manifest.xml I have:

<uses-permission android:name="com.vallabh.googlemapspractice.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="The Api Key which I got from google console" />

Check the logcat,if there is any error message or so;like invalid apikey — Soham, Jan 17 '18 at 11:48
Have you looked at [32841721](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32841721/) or [45550412](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45550412/)? Is your API key enabled and can you see any traffic hits on your Google Cloud Platform dashboard for that API? — dylan-myers, Jan 17 '18 at 11:51
First of all you hould follow the newest documentation ... I'm sure that when you are using gradle's *google-service plugin* there is no need for `"com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"` ... but you have to check what is really needed(how to setup) — Selvin, Jan 17 '18 at 12:02
