How to set language for Google PlaceAutocomplete

I am using Google PlaceAutocomplete, so the user can select his address.

My code is:

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(MainActivity.this)
                .addApi(Places.GEO_DATA_API)
                .enableAutoManage(this, GOOGLE_API_CLIENT_ID, this)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                .build();
        AutocompleteFilter typeFilter = new AutocompleteFilter.Builder()

                .setCountry("IQ")
                .build();


        mAutocompleteTextView.setOnItemClickListener(mAutocompleteClickListener);
        mPlaceArrayAdapter = new PlaceArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
                BOUNDS_MOUNTAIN_VIEW, typeFilter);
        mAutocompleteTextView.setAdapter(mPlaceArrayAdapter);

    }

    private AdapterView.OnItemClickListener mAutocompleteClickListener
            = new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

            final PlaceArrayAdapter.PlaceAutocomplete item = mPlaceArrayAdapter.getItem(position);
            final String placeId = String.valueOf(item.placeId);
            Log.i(TAG, "Selected: " + item.description);
            PendingResult<PlaceBuffer> placeResult = Places.GeoDataApi
                    .getPlaceById(mGoogleApiClient, placeId);
            placeResult.setResultCallback(mUpdatePlaceDetailsCallback);
            Log.i(TAG, "Fetching details for ID: " + item.placeId);
        }
    };

    private ResultCallback<PlaceBuffer> mUpdatePlaceDetailsCallback
            = new ResultCallback<PlaceBuffer>() {
        @Override
        public void onResult(PlaceBuffer places) {
            if (!places.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Place query did not complete. Error: " +
                        places.getStatus().toString());
                return;
            }
            // Selecting the first object buffer.
            final Place place = places.get(0);
            CharSequence attributions = places.getAttributions();

            mNameView.setText(Html.fromHtml(place.getAddress() + ""));


        }
    };

I want the result in Arabic. After some research I found that it depends on user system language, is there a way to make it only in Arabic?

You can change it in the initialize call:

Places.initialize(applicationContext, "API_KEY", Locale.US)

The third parameter is the language.

Places API returns you the Place object with the short address and latlng coordinates, but to get the full address with the EN locale you can do with this:

public Address getFullAddress(Place place){
        Address address;

        Locale aLocale = new Locale.Builder().setLanguage("en").build();
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, aLocale);

        try
        {
            List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(place.getLatLng().latitude,place.getLatLng().longitude, 1);

            address = addresses.get(0);

            return address;

        } catch (IOException e)
        {

            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return null;
    }

Here is the list of the languages supported https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#languagesupport & you may get language code from here.

So when you are calling place detail api, you may add language parameter which is optional, to see the details at following url https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details

Nothing. You can use web api, but:

The language code, indicating in which language the results should be returned, if possible.
