Empty OsmDroid Map? Where to custom the new map?

Question

Recently I tried to follow these steps: website.

with the casual way of adding the map to be visible into the screen using this code:

GPSTrackerActivity.java

public class GPSTrackerActivity extends Activity {

    private SDCardHandler SDTool;
    private ToastSender ToastObject;

    private FrameLayout frm_lay;
    private MapView myOpenMapView;
    private MapController myMapController;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle in) {
        super.onCreate(in);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_gpstracker);

        SDTool = new SDCardHandler();
        ToastObject = new ToastSender(this);

        frm_lay = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.frm_lay);

        myOpenMapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.openmapview);
        myOpenMapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
        myMapController = myOpenMapView.getController();
        myMapController.setZoom(4);



    }}

and this one, activity_gpstracker.xml :

        </TableRow>
    </TableLayout>

</LinearLayout>

but unfortunately, the code above seems giving me nothing. All components seems normal except the map view, it appeared to be nothing (empty). And i found noway where to custom the map of my own map into it. Any clues?

You don't follow the tutorial you mention. Start by following it, and have it working. Then you can introduce changes.

"And i found noway where to custom the map of my own map into it. " => this is a distinct issue, so create a separate question. And if you want an answer, be much (much) more clear about what you want.
