Google map PlaceAutoComplete closing on click

Question

Search bar is closing when I try to search for location.

When i click on Searchbar it appears for 1 second and disappears again. Tried to rebuild and clean my project but still no success.

statusCode=PLACES_API_ACCESS_NOT_CONFIGURED Error. Even tho i enabled the Places api on the same project or do i need to implement it into code somehow?

MapsActivity.java file -

public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

private GoogleMap mMap;
private GoogleApiClient client;
PlaceAutocompleteFragment placeAutoComplete;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps2);
    placeAutoComplete = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete);
    placeAutoComplete.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {

            Log.d("Maps", "Place selected: " + place.getName());
        }

        @Override
        public void onError(Status status) {
            Log.d("Maps", "An error occurred: " + status);
        }
    });

    SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mMap = googleMap;
    // Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
    //LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
   // mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
    //mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}


public void addMarker(Place p) {

    MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();

    markerOptions.position(p.getLatLng());
    markerOptions.title(p.getName() + "");
    markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE));

    mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(p.getLatLng()));
    mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(13));

}
