Adding PlaceAutocompleteFragment to an activity throws error

Question

I wanted to implement PlaceAutocompleteFragment based on the docs, in my app but when I add this snippet

<fragment
  android:id="@+id/place_autocomplete_fragment"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:name="com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.PlaceAutocompleteFragment"
  />

the last line throws "cannot resolve symbol 'PlaceAutocompleteFragment'." Why is that?

Check this implementation http://www.truiton.com/2015/04/android-places-api-autocomplete-getplacebyid/ — Sreehari, Feb 18 '16 at 06:01
did you add `compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'` ? — IntelliJ Amiya, Feb 18 '16 at 06:04

The class was not found by the compiler. You have to import the class by adding following code snippet in your build.gradle file.

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:11.0.4'
}

cannot resolve symbol PlaceAutocompleteFragment.

The compiler cannot find the class. This means that the class has not been imported properly, the name is misspelt or the class simply does not exist.

Just add this

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'

Finally

dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
              }

that was it. I simply deleted my old play services version and replaced it with the one you provided now it is all good. I appreciate it, I wish Google improve the way they prepare the docs ugh. – The_Martian Feb 18 '16 at 06:38
