   apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
   
   android {
       compileSdkVersion 25
       buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"
   
       defaultConfig {

           targetSdkVersion 25
           versionCode 1
           versionName "1.0"
           testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
       }
   
       buildTypes {
   
           release {
               minifyEnabled false
               proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
           }
       }
   }
   dependencies {
       compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
       androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
           exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
       })
       compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'

   <!--mata data for place api-->
   <meta-data
       android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
       android:value="@string/app_id" />

   
   

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       package="com.pankaj.placepicker.demo">
   
       <application
           android:allowBackup="true"
           android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
           android:label="@string/app_name"
           android:supportsRtl="true"
           android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
   
           <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
               <intent-filter>
                   <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                   <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
               </intent-filter>
           </activity>
   
           <!--mata data for place api-->
           <!--https://console.developers.google.com/apis-->
           <meta-data
               android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
               android:value="@string/app_id" />
       </application>
   </manifest>

10. Open your main_activity.xml and update it-
    
    

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        tools:context="com.pankaj.placepicker.demo.MainActivity">
    
        <!--button to open place picker-->
        <Button
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"

        private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;
        private final int PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST = 1;
        private String TAG = "place";
    
        @Override

            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    
            //________initialize google client api

        public void openPlacePicker(View view) {
    
            //___________create object of placepicker builder
            PlacePicker.IntentBuilder builder = new PlacePicker.IntentBuilder();
            try {
    
                //__________start placepicker activity for result
                startActivityForResult(builder.build(this), PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST);
    
            } catch (GooglePlayServicesRepairableException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    
        @Override
        public void onConnectionFailed(@NonNull ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Connection failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    
        @Override
        protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
            super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    
           //____________check for successfull result
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                switch (requestCode) {
    
                    //_________case for placepicker
                    case PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST:
    
                        //______create place object from the received intent.
                        Place place = PlacePicker.getPlace(data, this);
    
                        //______get place name from place object
                        String toastMsg = String.format("Place: %s", place.getName());
