Failed to detect whether we are running on Google Compute Engine

Question

I am trying to use Google Cloud Speech recognition but I get this error

I/omputeEngineCredentials: Failed to detect whether we are running on Google Compute Engine. W/System.err: java.io.IOException: The Application Default Credentials are not available. They are available if running in Google Compute Engine. Otherwise, the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS must be defined pointing to a file defining the credentials. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials for more information.

I set the environment variable from System Properties/Environment Variables/User variables and also I set the credentials manually using this guide.

I have searched every topic that is relevant to this, but I can't get it to work. What am I missing?

I faced this issue while connecting to Cloud Storage from local .Following are the steps I followed that worked for me:

1. Install Cloud SDK. Reference link:Cloud SDK
2. Follow all the steps to initialize the SDK.
3. Now ,create application default credentials by using the following command in the root directory of your application gcloud auth application-default login, by which google-cloud will automatically detect your credentials.
