This tutorial is based on the Places API Web Service.

We recently released Places API for Android , which includes PlaceDetectionApi.getCurrentPlace() .

Example:

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();
  }
});

You will also need to enable Places API for Android in the Google Developers Console and add an Android API key to your AndroidManifest.xml. See the setup instructions here .

I hope this helps!
