I'm following the tutorial on this page but I keep getting a 403 Forbidden error when I run the app and try to do a search.

I enabled Youtube Data API v3 on the https://console.developers.google.com/ page and I created an Android API key.

Any suggestions? Thank you.

Could not search: com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 403 Forbidden

} ],

I have resolved the problem by creating a Browser key instead of an android key. The browser key needs to have no entry so that it'll say "all refered allowed"
