I am trying to call the Google places API in my android app, using the following : https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/xml?query=restaurants+in+Sydney&sensor=true&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere

I have tried using a debug key, and have even tried generating a private key, but all I get is the REQUEST_DENIED response.

I have followed the steps mentioned for generating an Android API key, but still the error.

What am I missing? Is there a definitive guide I can use for using google places api in my android app?

Your suggestions would be highly appreciated.
