I was struggling with AutoCompleteSupportFragment. Whenever I was tapping on the search fragment and started typing, the keyboard just went down without any error in logcat. After a lot of struggle i was finally able to understand the problem. If anyone else is also facing such issue, he/she can try.
places api, direction api and many other gmaps APIs need US$ billing. If you haven't setup you billing or your currency is in INR or any other currency. You need to setup a new billing method. You can verify this by calling following url in your web browser for places API: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=1600+Amphitheatre&key=YOUR_API_KEY
if it shows: {
"error_message" : "You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started",
"places" : [],
"status" : "REQUEST_DENIED"
}
that means you dont have access to API and you need to setup your billing
you can visit: https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-india-faq#bill-maps to learn how
and here is the code if you want
