Android Request_denied Google Places Api

I am working on Android Google maps application but the query string i am using to get results of places near by the user is not working. http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/plac

Solution 1:

You need to generate the Places API key via: https://code.google.com/apis/console/

More on this under: https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/#Authentication

Solution 2:

I'm quite sure you are using a wrong/old key. Lokk at your link, it's over 3 years old. Better try this way to obtain a new key: Obtaining a Google Maps Android API Key. This is the official site.
