How to fix error: A project ID is required for this service but could not be determined

[jose rivera via StackOverflow]

In my case the next code is working: BigQuery bigquery = BigQueryOptions.newBuilder().setProjectId("XXXXX") .setCredentials( ServiceAccountCredentials.fromStream(new FileInputStream("key.json")) ).build().getService();

I set the projectId in the builder.
