How to use Google Geolocation API for Android app with restricted API key

How to use Google Geolocation API for Android app with restricted API key? As far as I know that we couldn't use restricted API key with the following API request since it is relevant to a web request.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?components=postal_code:ZIP_CODE&key=YOUR_API_KEY_RESTRICTED_TO_YOUR_ANDROID_APP

I know that we can use inbuild Geocoder class in Android to get the reverse geolocation for given postal code. But I want to know that how we can achieve reverse geocoding with Google Geolocation API with the above format.

You can use the Java Client for Google Maps Web Services provided by Google here:

https://developers.google.com/maps/web-services/client-library

With this you should be able to use the Geocoding API Web Service and do request in that format.
