there are two ways to get your Place API working either by Intent or AutocompleteFragment,
in the case of intent you can restrict your search to a specific country but the same is not applicable to the AutocompleteFragment yet. below is the code that worked for me:
<fragment
android:id="@+id/autocomplete_fragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:name="com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.AutocompleteSupportFragment"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
activityCode:
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.annotation.NonNull;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.Status;
import com.google.android.libraries.places.api.Places;
import com.google.android.libraries.places.api.model.Place;
import com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.AutocompleteSupportFragment;
import com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.listener.PlaceSelectionListener;
import org.jetbrains.annotations.NotNull;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class AutocompleteFragmentActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private String TAG ="FRAGMENT_AUTOCOMPLETE";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_autocomplete_fragment);
/**
* Initialize Places. For simplicity, the API key is hard-coded. In a production
* environment we recommend using a secure mechanism to manage API keys.
*/
if (!Places.isInitialized()) {
Places.initialize(getApplicationContext(), "API_KEY");
}
// Initialize the AutocompleteSupportFragment.
AutocompleteSupportFragment autocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.autocomplete_fragment);
assert autocompleteFragment != null;
autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME));
autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(placeSelectionListener);
}
PlaceSelectionListener placeSelectionListener = new PlaceSelectionListener() {
@Override
public void onPlaceSelected(@NonNull Place place) {
Log.i(TAG, "Place: " + place.getName() + ", " + place.getId());
Toast.makeText(AutocompleteFragmentActivity.this, place.getName()+", "+ place.getAddress(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
@Override
public void onError(@NotNull Status status) {
Log.i(TAG, "An error occurred: " + status);
}
};
}
activity class for Intent
import android.app.Activity
import android.content.Intent
import android.os.Bundle
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
import android.util.Log
import android.widget.Toast
import com.google.android.libraries.places.api.Places
import com.google.android.libraries.places.api.model.Place
import com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.Autocomplete
import com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.AutocompleteActivity
import com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.model.AutocompleteActivityMode
import java.util.*
class AutocompleteActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
private var AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE = 0
private var TAG: String = "AUTOCOMPLETE_ACTIVITY"
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
setContentView(R.layout.activity_autocomplete)
if (!Places.isInitialized()){
Places.initialize(this, "API_KEY")
}
// val placesClient = Places.createClient(this)
val fields = Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.ADDRESS)
val intent = Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(AutocompleteActivityMode.FULLSCREEN, fields)
.setCountry("NG")
.build(this)
startActivityForResult(intent,AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE)
}
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE){
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK){
val place = Autocomplete.getPlaceFromIntent(data!!)
Log.i(TAG,"Place: "+ place.name + ", "+ place.id)
}
else if (resultCode == AutocompleteActivity.RESULT_ERROR){
val status = Autocomplete.getStatusFromIntent(data!!)
Log.i(TAG, status.statusMessage)
}
else if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED){
Toast.makeText(this@AutocompleteActivity, "You cancelled the operation", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}
}
}
Don't forget to add your dependencies
dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:16.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0'
}
For this to work you must add both to your gradle file
Try this it should work!!! :)
