I followed a tut regarding finding nearby places using places api and tried to integrate it in my app. The nearyplaceactivity is runninng but place results are not showing up. Dont know wat is wrong coz the code is almost same as what the tutorial mentioned. Below is my code. If anyone could help, i would be really grateful... The tut link is http://www.androidhive.info/2012/08/android-working-with-google-places-and-maps-tutorial/
