{"error_message" : "This API project is not authorized to use this API.Please ensure that this API is activated in the APIs Console: Learn more: https://code.google.com/apis/console",
  "html_attributions" : [],
  "results" : [],
  "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

{
 "error_message" : "This IP, site or mobile application is not authorized to use this API key.",
 "html_attributions" : [],
 "results" : [],
 "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}

I am not getting what the problem in my code.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. In my case the problem was that I tried to send request using simple HttpUrlconnection by this url:

 https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=62.25227243964484%2C59.12338379770518&radius=500&key=my_key

Where my_key was a key for Google Places API for Android, but when I switched to Google Places API Web Service, this works fine. It seems that for using key for Google Places API for Android you should follow this guide https://developers.google.com/places/android/
