Places Api activity closes immediately?

Question

Im making an android mapsActivity application,Ive enabled Places API in the console and maps sdk for android.But the places activity still closes after launching? Ive tried all the solutions in the following links but still no help .. Am i doing something wrong here ? Also what is the difference between Places API and Places Sdk for android ? Are they both same and different versions or 2 different Apis ?

place picker close immediately after activity start (google places api)

Place Picker automatically closing

For the people who still face this issue. My issue was with the key . The apis were enabled on my account but NOT ON my key. I made a new key and it works fine now.
