Android studio can not resolve com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompleteFilter

Question

I am trying to implement a autocomplete places search following this article.

http://www.truiton.com/2015/04/android-places-api-autocomplete-getplacebyid/

I have followed all steps, and also added proper dependencies in my build.gradle file.

dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87' } 

Also here are the meta data section in my manifest.

    <meta-data         android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"         android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />     <meta-data         android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"         android:value="@string/google_maps_key" /> 

also I have all the required SDK components installed. Still my android studio can not resolve the places part in the following imports:

import com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompleteFilter; import com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompletePrediction; import com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompletePredictionBuffer; import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Places; 

this is how they look as they can not find the Places part.

How can I resolve this issue? I am using SDK 19 for my app.

Answer 1

Add compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:<version>, where <version> is perhaps at least: 9.2.1 under dependencies in your modules's build.gradle

Answer 2

In play-services 9.2.0 the places API is no longer located in location. Those are now in their own places dependency. To resolve those you should add this to your build.gradle.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:9.2.0'
