<p>Here is the simple example of <span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Google Places SDK</strong> </span>for Android returns place predictions in response to user search queries.As the user types, the autocomplete service returns suggestions for places such as <em><strong>businesses, addresses, latitude, longitude etc</strong></em>.</p>

<p>You can add <strong><span style="color: #008000;">autocompleteTextView</span></strong> to your app in the following ways:</p>
<p>1) Autocomplete widget to save development time and ensure a consistent user experience.</p>
<p>2) Get places predictions programmatically to create a customised UI.</p>
<p>Here we will go with <strong><span style="color: #008000;">Autocomplete</span></strong> widget</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Obtaining Google API Key</strong></span></p>
<p>In order to make requests to Google Places API you need to provide your API key. You can get your API key by going to <strong><a class="ref-link" href="https://code.google.com/apis/console" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Google Places APIs console</a></strong>. The same key can be used for all other google services.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>1)After obtaining the api key add the API key in the manifest file under application tag like:</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>AndroidManifest.xml</strong></span></p>
<pre><code><;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>;
<;manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="c1c.googleplaceapiexample">;

<;application
 android:allowBackup="true"
 android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
 android:label="@string/app_name"
 android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
 android:supportsRtl="true"
 android:theme="@style/AppTheme">;

 <;meta-data
 android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
 <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">android:value="ADD YOUR APIKEY"</span></strong>/>;

 <;activity android:name=".MainActivity">;
 <;intent-filter>;
 <;action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />;
 <;category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />;
 <;/intent-filter>;
 <;/activity>;
<;/application>;

<;/manifest>;</code></pre>

<p><strong>2)Getting the Places list </strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Here I am putting both files .kt(for Kotlin) and .java(for Java)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>MainActivity.kt</strong></span></p>
