I have an an activity where the main view is Google maps. And I set up a marker when the map is initially loaded, but when I click on it I am not able to get the locality or anything. The maps appears, but I can't click on the marker, or tap or tap on the screen and hold to create a new marker. basically it cannot do anything...And i can't figure out why! Hope you guys can see something that I am not seeing.
Here is my main activity.

You are contradicting yourself in your initMap().
Remove the following if statement:
if (mMap == null)
Also only call initMap() after mapFragment.getMapAsync returns. At this point, you know your map is ready to go.
mapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15), 2000, null);
initMap();
}
});
