Not able to select autocomplete results in google places

I am using google places API in my ionic/cordova, angular based mobile app in android platform.

I am able to get search results from text field value using API but when i select an option by simply clicking on one of search results, the text box remains empty.
But when I press and keep holding the search result option for 2-3 secs, that option is selected.

It seems weird to me but it is happening.
place_changed event is not getting triggered on quick tap.
I really dont know what can be the cause of this issue? I have tried Faskclick.js to eliminate 300 ms but that didnt work though I think this issue is not related to 300 ms delay.

My code:

 function initialize() {
    var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, options);
};

Please help me out here.

I used ngMap and angular-google-places-autocomplete together in the following example.

Hope it helps.

angular.module('app', ['ionic', 'google.places', 'ngMap'])

.controller('MapCtrl', ['$scope', 'NgMap',
	function ($scope, NgMap) {

		$scope.location = null;

		NgMap.getMap().then(function (map) {
			console.log("getMap");
			$scope.map = map;
		});
		
		$scope.$on('g-places-autocomplete:select', function(event, place) {
			console.log('new location: ' + JSON.stringify(place));
			$scope.data = {
				lat: place.geometry.location.lat(),
				lng: place.geometry.location.lng()
			};
			$scope.map.setCenter(place.geometry.location);
			console.log($scope.data);
		});
	}
]);
.map {
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px !important;
}
