I am developing an Android Application and was looking into Google Places for some functionality within the application. Google has recently released the PlacePicker feature which is what I am using. I have followed the Google guidelines and quick start guides to the "T". The functionality was working amazing as of three hours ago and now when I go to test it, it launches and then immediately closes with no errors thrown in the stack trace. Here is how I am using the code:
This is within a fragment.
// The Location Selection from Google Place Picker
where.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
launchPlace();
} catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException | GooglePlayServicesRepairableException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
This is within the fragments onCreateView.
The method launchPlace() is defined as follows.
// Start Google Place Picker Code **************************************************************
public void launchPlace() throws GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException,
GooglePlayServicesRepairableException {
PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST = 1;
PlacePicker.IntentBuilder builder = new PlacePicker.IntentBuilder();
Context context = getActivity().getApplicationContext();
startActivityForResult(builder.build(context), PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST);
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
String badLocation = "That location is not valid for this app, please select a valid location";
if (requestCode == PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
place = PlacePicker.getPlace(data, getActivity().getApplicationContext());
if (place.getPlaceTypes().contains(34)) {
if (place.getPlaceTypes().contains(9) || place.getPlaceTypes().contains(15) ||
place.getPlaceTypes().contains(38) ||
place.getPlaceTypes().contains(67) ||
place.getPlaceTypes().contains(79)) {
where.setText(place.getName());
loc = true;
} else {
Toast.makeText(getActivity().getApplicationContext(),
badLocation, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
try {
launchPlace();
} catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException | GooglePlayServicesRepairableException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
}
}
This code worked previously (3 hours ago) and now does not. Here is what LogCat says: (Android Studio)

If anyone knows of a way to help with this that would be amazing, I know that Google PlacePicker is quite new but I am a novice Android Developer and feel like someone has a better understanding than I. Any and all help would be appreciated. If more information is required please let me know. We use GitHub so I have reverted all the way back to when it once worked, yet nothing changed, it still closes (the picker, not the app). I have enabled the Google Places API and Google Places API for Android in the developer console, no help there either. It gets to the "Updating your location" screen then stops.
EDIT: This is the entire LogCat, from launch (On a Samsung Galaxy S5) to the PlacePicker starting (One navigation prior to that action) then closing and returning to the app. Is this what you meant?

The above LogCat is Verbose.
Solution: Don't be a newbie like me, I had forgotten to add my Google API Key to my android_manifest.xml... I apologize.
