Question

I am totally frustrated - I have a simple android app and I tried to get the direction using the google maps directions API after rendering the map . The XML response I get is REQUEST_DENIED.

Please help!!!. I am not an expert in android and still learning the tricks... This is the hptts request that goes out:-

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=losgatos&destination=cupertino&sensor=false

I had posted this question earlier too but didn't get any response. thanks in advance..

My full code:- ( Main class).
