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.
