Android PlacesClient getting garbage collection error

I'm creating a Google Maps Places API Client using the following code:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    if (!Places.isInitialized()) {
        Places.initialize(this.requireActivity(), BuildConfig.MAP_API_KEY)
    }

    placesClient = Places.createClient(requireActivity())

}

However, exiting the map activity results in the following error:

\*\\\~\*\\\~\*\\\~
Previous channel {0} was garbage collected without being shut down!
\\\~\*\\\~\*\\\~\*
Make sure to call shutdown()/shutdownNow() 
java.lang.RuntimeException: ManagedChannel allocation site

I tried to use the code below but even after making null getting same error.

override fun onStop() {
    super.onStop()
     placesClient = null
}

override fun onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy()
    // Shut down the PlacesClient
         try {
             (placesClient as? AutoCloseable)?.close()
         } catch (e: Exception) {
             e.printStackTrace()
         }
}

The problem with your code is that you aren't supposed to close the PlacesClient - you should use a de-initialization method of Places instead. Consider the following code:

class MyActivity : ComponentActivity() {

    lateinit var placesClient: PlacesClient

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)

        Places.initialize(applicationContext, BuildConfig.MAP_API_KEY)

        placesClient = Places.createClient(this)

    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        Places.deinitialize()
    }

}

For more information about Places, you can refer to the docs.
