How do I fix this error from YouTube Data API (for search) ? No enabled protocols; SSLv3 is no longer supported and was filtered from the list

I'm using the YouTube Data API to search YouTube's database so i can get the VideoID of the first video that turns up on the result list. That's all I want to do but I keep getting this "There was an IO error: null : No enabled protocols; SSLv3 is no longer supported and was filtered from the list" error.

How do I get rid of this error please?

P.S: You guys are my last option else I'd have to spend a really long time trying to fix this error. Thanks.

I have gone through most of the stackoverflow and github codes for YouTube API search to see if I might be missing something on the code but they have all produced same error message. I have also tried using the first solution provided here but it gives another type of error Disable SSL as a protocol in HttpsURLConnection I am curious as to why i haven't found any one who is using the YouTube api and has encountered this same error. Thanks
