How to use Google QPX API with Java for flight search?

Question

I am trying to build a simple Java code that obtains flight options using Google QPX API, for the flight from New York to London. I signed up with Google and got API_key.

I read the documentation, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any example that show me how to do it.

Here what I tried so far:

import com.google.api.services.qpxExpress.model.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Main 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {   
        // Passengers
        PassengerCounts passengers = new PassengerCounts();
        passengers.setAdultCount(2);

        // Slice
        List<SliceInput> slices = new ArrayList<SliceInput>();

        SliceInput slice = new SliceInput();
        slice.setOrigin("JFK"); // John Kennedy Airport in Ney York
        slice.setDestination("LHR"); // London Heathrow
        slice.setDate("2015-07-01");
        slices.add(slice);


        // Options request
        TripOptionsRequest tripOptions = new TripOptionsRequest(); 
        tripOptions.setPassengers(passengers);
        tripOptions.setSlice(slices);


        // Search request
        TripsSearchRequest tripSearchReq = new TripsSearchRequest();
        tripSearchReq.setRequest(tripOptions);

        // Next steps?
        // Setting up QPXExpress?

    }
}

I will appreciate it if someone can help me to complete the code. Thanks in advance.
