Google Places API "request denied" error

Question

I have tried using a debug key, and have even tried generating a private key, but all I get is the REQUEST_DENIED response.

I have followed the steps mentioned for generating an Android API key, but still the error.

What am I missing? Is there a definitive guide I can use for using google places api in my android app?

Your suggestions would be highly appreciated.

You are using Android key for google Place API.
Login on google console then create a Place API key, try again. enter image description here

@ufdeveloper create a new API project if needed. the First key you got grom API project when turn on Place API is the right one – Tai Dao May 16 '13 at 17:40
