Question

Need help... I am working on transliteration in Android and it requires API_KEY, but as I'm new to Android, I don't know how to get that API_KEY, Can anybody tell me, what I have to do to get that API_KEY...? Thanks in Advance...!! Following is my code snippet---

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
{
    EditText myInputText;
    Button myTranslateButton;
    TextView myOutputText;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        myInputText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.inputText);
        myTranslateButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.translateButton);
        myOutputText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.outputText);

        myTranslateButton.setOnClickListener(MyTranslateButtonOnClickListener);
    }

    private Button.OnClickListener MyTranslateButtonOnClickListener 
      = new Button.OnClickListener()
    {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            String InputString;
            String OutputString = null;
            InputString = myInputText.getText().toString();

            try 
            {
                GoogleAPI.setHttpReferrer("http:\\www.google.com");

                    **// Here I need API_KEY**
                **GoogleAPI.setKey(" API KEY");**
                OutputString = Translate.DEFAULT.execute(InputString,Language.ENGLISH, Language.HINDI);
            } 
            catch (Exception ex) 
            {
                ex.printStackTrace();
                OutputString = "Error";
            }

             Typeface customF = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "akshar.ttf");

            //final TextView textV = (TextView) findViewById(...);
            myOutputText.setTypeface(customF);
            myOutputText.setText(OutputString);

        }

    };

}

You can get API keys on google's website from the google's console (you need to be logged to get it). Here's the link to get the API key for translate : Google API_KEY Translate. If you need more details, you can also check the Developer's guide.
