Error on using googmaps api

Im getting the following error on trying to use an web service from google api maps:

{ "error_message" : "Requests to this API must be over SSL.", "results" : [], "status" : "REQUEST_DENIED" }

the url used to invoke the web service:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key=my_key=Rua+Vergueiro,+1883,+S%C3%A3o+Paulo,+Brazil&sensor=true

method used to call the web service:

enter code here

public static String httpPost(String urlStr) throws Exception {
    String novaUrl = urlStr.trim();

    novaUrl = urlStr.replaceAll(" ", "+");
    novaUrl = novaUrl.replaceAll("\r", "");
    novaUrl = novaUrl.replaceAll("\t", "");
    novaUrl = novaUrl.replaceAll("\n", "");

    URL url = new URL(novaUrl);
    HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();

    conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
    conn.setDoOutput(true);
    conn.setDoInput(true);
    conn.setUseCaches(false);
    conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);

    conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urldecoded");

    // Create the form content
    OutputStream out = conn.getOutputStream();
    Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8");
    writer.close();
    out.close();

    // Buffer the result into a string
    BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    String line;

    while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
      sb.append(line);
    }

    rd.close();
    conn.disconnect();

    Spanned retorno = Html.fromHtml(sb.toString());

    return retorno.toString();
}

How to solve this problem?

Thanks.

Your given URL :: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key=my_key=Rua+Vergueiro,+1883,+S%C3%A3o+Paulo,+Brazil&sensor=true

here key=my_key  Here is the problem, please provide correct API key and you problem will be solved.

Try using this URL. Error just because of http and https. https is used for secure line.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key=my_key=Rua+Vergueiro,+1883,+S%C3%A3o+Paulo,+Brazil&sensor=true

Now when you click on this you will get some error like this .. The provided API key is invalid.

For that just provide correct API key that you retrieved from Google Console.
