I pulled the apikey by submitting the fingerprint I got from the debug.keystore for the androiddebugkey which was what it said to do on the dev site. I copied that api key off of the webpage and pasted it directly MapView android:apikey element in the main.xml (and I've repeated and verified this several times). Since I doubt the api key I'm retrieving from the site is invalid, is there any other reasons I could be getting empty tiles back that anyone is aware of? This is really frustrating as the app I'm writing needs maps so I can't really proceed until I get this working. If I download a new SDK will my androiddebugkey change? I suppose I could try this.
