Google Places Api Android

Question

I am searching for something where, I needs to pass my current location details(latitude and longitude) and retrieve the type of current place.

For example, If I am standing at ATM, and If I pass the latitude and longitude, Google should return me something like ATM as type.

For this purpose, I am using Google Places API

PendingResult<PlaceLikelihoodBuffer> result = Places.PlaceDetectionApi
.getCurrentPlace(mGoogleApiClient, null);
result.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<PlaceLikelihoodBuffer>() {
@Override
public void onResult(PlaceLikelihoodBuffer likelyPlaces) {
for (PlaceLikelihood placeLikelihood : likelyPlaces) {
  Log.i(TAG, String.format("Place '%s' has likelihood: %g",
      placeLikelihood.getPlace().getName(),
      placeLikelihood.getLikelihood()));
}
likelyPlaces.release();
}
});

This is the main focus of code.

But Here It returns list of places Instead of one. I supposed that, Inside getCurrentPlace function of PlaceDetectionApi I should pass the radius instead of null. But I am not getting how to pass it. And my GoogleApiClient object is

 mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
                .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
                .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
                .addApi(LocationServices.API)
                .addApi(Places.GEO_DATA_API)
                .addApi(Places.PLACE_DETECTION_API)
                .enableAutoManage(this, this)
                .build();

Thank you guys in advance.

Click on Place type Google will give you input parameter for place type, there you have to pass following parameter from the list . to know list of parameter click on this link

Answer 2

Google should return me place type. visit getPlacesTypes()

List<Integer> types = placeLikelihood.getPlace().getPlaceTypes();

But Here It returns list of places Instead of one

That is obvious that same location can be related to other places also. Check @cricket_007 comment.
