Question

I have exactly the same problem as Autocomplete textview google places api

But the fixes suggested to him don't fix the problem with my case. I uses the exact same code. But it does not work.

i debuged the problem and saw i am getting a respond of zero_results

Any suggestion?

                String input = "";

        try {
            input = "input=" + URLEncoder.encode(place[0], "utf-8");
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }

        // place type to be searched
        String types = "types=geocode";

        // Sensor enabled
        String sensor = "sensor=false";

        // Building the parameters to the web service
        String parameters = input + "&" + types + "&" + sensor + "&" + key;

        // Output format
        String output = "json";

        // Building the url to the web service
        String url =         "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input="
                + output + "?" + parameters;

You problem is you API key configuration. Make sure you are creating an API key in "Public API access" section.

Public API access

You can find how to get the finger print in this post:

How to obtain Signing certificate fingerprint (SHA1) for OAuth 2.0 on Android?

Then in google console register you API key. Remember add to the final you name package declared in your Android Manifest.
finger print example:
