Implementing Google Places API
Question
I have been trying for the last couple days to find a simple tutorial on this but it seems like there is no such thing as simple with google's API.
Here is what I know so far step 1 send http message using a url that will contain long and lat and API_Key step 2 get result and prasae it step 3 use the data to get what I need. I just can't seem to figure it out. If you could provide me an example or just anything on how to implement this API it would be great! My java file

Here is reference for all you need ..
https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/ AND https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/MapFragment
And you can use same some thing like undermentioned ..
Check this simple class that implements all you need
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnClickListener {

here is the code for implementing google places. Following is the xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="10dp">
<ListView
android:id="@+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="250dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
here is the code that has to be written in the java file
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> placesListItems = new ArrayList<HashMap<String,String>>();

lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
// calling background Async task to load Google Places
// After getting places from Google all the data is shown in listview
new LoadPlaces().execute();
