Question

I am using following code to launch place picker API.

      try {

          PlacePicker.IntentBuilder builder = new PlacePicker.IntentBuilder();

          startActivityForResult(builder.build(getActivity()), PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST);

          } catch (GooglePlayServicesRepairableException e) {

          } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {

          }

  manifest.xml 

  <meta-data
  android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
  android:value="@string/places_api_key"/>

You may check this [related forum](https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=10243) which suggested to use Google maps API to get the maps. Then use places autocomplete api to get the search bar. [`android:hardwareAccelerated="true"`](https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=9071) also fixed the problem. — abielita, Nov 22 '16 at 12:16
@abielita Thanks for the comment. I have already tried hardwareAccelerated = true. It didn't help. If I use the map and autocomplete separately, it will beat the purpose of using placepicker in the first place. — v4_adi, Nov 22 '16 at 12:29
