Android Map search for an address

Question

In my Android application I am working with Google Maps, where I want to search for a particular address for example "Apple Office". So I found the current location and need to search for "Apple Office" within five km of the current position. So my address is already marked in Google Maps. I know how to search for a location

Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("geo:37.7749,-122.4194");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
if (mapIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
    startActivity(mapIntent);
}

This will search for San Francisco... but I need to search with text. So what change do I need for that?

You have to use 'Google Places API for Android'. https://developers.google.com/places/android-api/
