Not able to add implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:2.2.0'

Question

I am trying to add Places SDK for android.

I am following the following documentation https://developers.google.com/places/android-sdk/start and https://developers.google.com/places/android-sdk/client-migration

Unfortunately i am not able to add dependency "implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:2.2.0'"

I have gone through following links. But no use. Please help me with this.

Failed to resolve: com.google.android.libraries.places:1.0.0:

Google's new Places Library ( implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:1.0.0') not resolving

Answer 1

Finally i found solution to my issue.

I solved it by installing the compatibility library.

Followed this. https://developers.google.com/places/android-sdk/client-migration

Following two steps resolved my issue.

1. Copy the contents of places_compat_compatify.sh, and save as a file to your local computer.

2. Use the following command to run the compatibility script

   ./places_compat_compatify.sh 2.1.0

After this, I could run my project successfully and could Place API.

Thanks
