AutoComplete Google Places get error :This API project is not authorized to use this API. Please ensure that this API is activated in the APIs Console

Question

i'm trying to develop Maps with autocomplete textview with Google API.

i tried this tutorial here

but i always get this error when i'm tryin to get the API :

{
   "error_message" : "This API project is not authorized to use this API. Please ensure that this API is activated in the APIs Console: Learn more: https://code.google.com/apis/console",
   "predictions" : [],
   "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

i tried to find the solution, and i tried all the solution, like to use a browser key, server key, enable the google places & map, delete & recreate project, but i still get the error here is my code :

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    AutoCompleteTextView atvPlaces;

    DownloadTask placesDownloadTask;
    DownloadTask placeDetailsDownloadTask;
    ParserTask placesParserTask;
    ParserTask placeDetailsParserTask;

Please help me, any help will be appreciate thanks!

Answer 1

I see you're using the Places API Web Service — you may find the Places API for Android suits you better as you're writing an Android app. The Places API for Android will allow you to use an Android key, which can be restricted to be only usable by your app, unlike Server keys.

For using the Web Service follow the Get a Key instructions in the Developer's Guide. In particular make sure that you:

• Use a Server key, and
• Have enabled Google Places API Web Service (not the same as Google Places API for Android) in the Google Developers Console.

Go https://code.google.com/apis/console login with your id, Create an application put all detail and generate API Key and put your API key in below code
// String key = "Put your API key here ";

private String getAutoCompleteUrl(String place){

        // Obtain browser key from https://code.google.com/apis/console
        String key = "Put your API key here "; here you update your key
    // 

        // place to be be searched
        String input = "input="+place;

        // place type to be searched
        String types = "types=geocode";

        // Sensor enabled
        String sensor = "sensor=false";

        // Building the parameters to the web service
        String parameters = input+"&"+types+"&"+sensor+"&"+key;

        // Output format
        String output = "json";

        // Building the url to the web service
        String url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/"+output+"?"+parameters;

        return url;
    }
