Places AutoComplete Fragment Closes Automatically

I am implementing google places api in my android app. I open the google auto complete textview, and i try to type. Once I started typing the fragment closes automatically. I used both the intent and listener but both are giving the same problem. here is the code:

Code for Listener:

autocompleteSupportFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME));
autocompleteSupportFragment.setTypeFilter(TypeFilter.CITIES);
autocompleteSupportFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
           @Override
           public void onPlaceSelected(@NonNull Place place) {
               Toast.makeText(getContext(), ""+place.getName(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
           }

           @Override
           public void onError(@NonNull Status status) {

           }
       });

Code for Intent

 lc.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Intent intent = new Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(
                        AutocompleteActivityMode.FULLSCREEN, fields)
                        .build(getContext());
                startActivityForResult(intent, AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE);
            }
        });

 @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, @Nullable Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if (requestCode == AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE) {
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                Place place = Autocomplete.getPlaceFromIntent(data);
                Toast.makeText(getContext(), ""+place.getName(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else if (resultCode == AutocompleteActivity.RESULT_ERROR) {
                // TODO: Handle the error.
                Status status = Autocomplete.getStatusFromIntent(data);
                Log.i(TAG, status.getStatusMessage());
            } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
                // The user canceled the operation.
            }

        }

    }

Code for layout:

<fragment
                android:id="@+id/place_autocomplete_fragment1"
                android:name="com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.AutocompleteSupportFragment"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_margin="10sp" />

        </LinearLayout>

I saw other solutions but it was not helpfull. What changes should i have. I have enabled google places in the console as well.

There's an additional configuration that you have to add in the google maps API

I don't have a solution, however, I may provide a way to help troubleshoot this issue.

In the onActivityResult method put this Log :

Status status = Autocomplete.getStatusFromIntent(data);
Log.e("SomeTagToFilterTheLogcat", status.toString());

And then see the output to determine the error. Mine was that billing was not enabled though my google console account says otherwise, maybe because I am using the free tier with an old account where GCP was not requiring any credit cards.

I had the same problem. You should initialize like this:

if (!Places.isInitialized()) {
   Places.initialize(getApplicationContext(), "Your_Api_Key");
}
PlacesClient placesClient = Places.createClient(this);

This happens when the project is not authorized to use API key you are trying to use.

try using the link from the google_maps_api.xml file which is generated for you automatically when you use the wizard.

It has the format

https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_android_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE_ANDROID&r=SHA1KEY;packagename&pli=1

example: if your package is com.example.myapplication and your SHA-1 key is 61:DB:7B:CB:A9:86:62:51:CF:88:9E:AC:ED:PC:E8:2E:CB:C6:43:60

https://console.developers.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=maps_android_backend&keyType=CLIENT_SIDE_ANDROID&r=61:DB:7B:CB:A9:86:62:51:CF:88:9E:AC:ED:PC:E8:2E:CB:C6:43:60;com.example.myapplication&pli=1
