My application needs fall under using Public API Key, I don't need OAuth

I created an API Key under my developer console

I tested it and I receive the data I need from YouTube

When I restricted my key - As recommended by Google - to Android App and provided both package name and signing key SHA1 fingerprint (For debug key & release key), only then my calls failed, with an error response is below:

I searched around as much as I could, and the logical answer I came by is that I need to send my package name & my application SHA1 along with my YouTube Data API request to get verified against the ones I provided under my developer console.

I couldn't find an example to do that using YouTube Data APIs, could you please provide a code sample.

Thank you in advance.

 mJsonFactory

 mTransport 
 =

 . 
 newCompatibleTransport 
 ();

    mYoutubeDataApi 
 = 
 new 
 YouTube 
 . 
 Builder 
 ( 
 mTransport 
 , 
 mJsonFactory 
 , 
 null 
 ). 
 setApplicationName 
 ( 
 getResources 
 (). 
 getString 
 ( 
 R 
 . 
 string 
 . 
 app_name 
 )). 
 build 
 ();
