Question

Can anyone share a snippet that elaborates how to get JSON response ( IN ANDROID) from call to Google Places API? How do I call API? How do I pass parameters and How do I get JSON response?

Answer 1

You could take a look at Sprockets (disclosure: I'm the developer). It provides a Java API on top of the Google Places API, so you can query it using various methods like:

Places.textSearch(Params.create().query("pizza near times square"))

The library also provides a GooglePlaceAutoComplete widget and a GooglePlacesLoader .
