PlaceAutoCompleteFragment in android does not show offers and closes after entering the first letter

Question

The AutoFill widget service in the Google Places API for Android does not work as expected. I included a snippet in my xml page, and also added listener activity to my onCreate() .
Then I start the execution of the autocomplete fragment, I press the first letter of the word I want to find, and suddenly instead of showing sentences, onError() is executed and closed.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:id="@+id/map" android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context="com.akhil.maplocation.MapsActivity" /> <fragment android:id="@+id/place_autocomplete_fragment" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:name="com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.PlaceAutocompleteFragment" /> </RelativeLayout> 

The main activity for this is:

 public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback { private GoogleMap mMap; LatLng fromadd; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps); PlaceAutocompleteFragment autocompleteFragment = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete_fragment); autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() { @Override public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) { // TODO: Get info about the selected place. fromadd = place.getLatLng(); double lat = fromadd.latitude; double lng = fromadd.longitude; gotoLocation(lat, lng, 15); } @Override public void onError(Status status) { // TODO: Handle the error. Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),"failure",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }); mMap.setOnMapClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener() { @Override public void onMapClick(LatLng latLng) { MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions(); markerOptions.position(latLng); fromadd = latLng; markerOptions.title(latLng.latitude + ":" + latLng.longitude + " " + latLng.toString()); mMap.clear(); mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng)); mMap.addMarker(markerOptions); } }); mapFragment.getMapAsync(this); } @Override public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) { mMap = googleMap; if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) { return; } mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); 

}

Answer 1

You will probably miss the API key, which is required to use the Google Places API. Check out this link . When you do everything that is indicated in the link, add this code to your AndroidManifest

 <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="YOUR_KEY" />

mMap must be initialized before using mMap.setOnMapClickListener (....; gotoLocation (lat, lng, 15) should look like this:

 private void gotoLocation(double lat, double lng, int i) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub Marker myMarker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions() .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.home)) .position(p1) .snippet("Lat:" + lat + "Lng:" + lng) .title("HOME")); map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager() .findFragmentById(R.id.map2)).getMap(); map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(lat, lng), i)); }
