Google Places API for Android Place Picker 不起作用

Question

I am unable to use the Place picker in my app. The API worked then just stopped one day with no explanation.The picker shows up for a very short period of time then simply closes with no exception and nothing in the logs. The onActivityResult function is called with requestCode=1, resultCode=2(error code) and with no data. The sample code from google does the same thing. I have tried everything to get this working. anybody experience anything similar? Help please.

Answer 1

I figured out the answer to my own question.

If anybody else encounters the same issue, make sure you enable "Places API for Android" and not just "Places API" in the Developer Console . "Places API for Android" will not show up under "APIs & Auth/APIs" because it isnt a popular API (yet). You will have to search for it using the API search box.

Answer 2

instead of this:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
    android:value="your_key"/>

add this:

<meta-data            
    android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
    android:value="your_key" />

It worked for me!!!

Answer 3

Check your build variant.

If you switched back from release to debug , you typically also get result code 2 .

Switching back to release did the trick for me.

Answer 4

Also make sure your account has not been deactivated in Developer Console
