title: Google Places API "request denied" error
body: <p>I am trying to call the Google places API in my android app, using the following :
  <a href="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/xml?query=restaurants+in+Sydney&amp;sensor=true&amp;key=AddYourOwnKeyHere" rel="nofollow">https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/xml?query=restaurants+in+Sydney&amp;sensor=true&amp;key=AddYourOwnKeyHere</a></p>
  
  <p>I have tried using a debug key, and have even tried generating a private key, but all I get is the REQUEST_DENIED response. </p>
  
  <p>I have followed the steps mentioned for generating an Android API key, but still the error.</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing? Is there a definitive guide I can use for using google places api in my android app?</p>
  
  <p>Your suggestions would be highly appreciated.</p>
