This is my code to get the Places suggestions from Google Places API. But it is showing some error like "Cannot connect to Google Places API". I have given the proper error which I am getting at the bottom of this code.
I just need an AutoCompleteTextView to be populated with GeoLocations. For example, if the user types in "Deh", suggestions starting from Deh should appear right away,like, "Dehradun, India"

FYI:Avoid
ActionBarActivity
.Its deprecated .Try this Android – AutoCompleteTextView with Google Places Autocomplete APII just tested your code that builds the url, and it looks fine, so that is not the problem.
You're probably getting a timeout from a slow connection, try setting the timeout on your HttpURLConnection:
Also, note that if you haven't done so already, you will need to execute your network operation in a background thread, using an AsyncTask would be good for a short operation like this.
Edit:
I just ran a condensed version of your original code, and it worked just fine for me.
I used a Browser Key for the API key, and ran the
autocomplete()
method in an AsyncTask, and used "San Francisco" hard coded for the test.Here is the full Activity class code that I used:
Here are the resulting logs:
