Answer 1

I was facing same issue, but i downgrade my play services version in build.gradle.

1. settings->apps->Google Play Services application check image
2. my google play services version is 10.2.98, that's why we need google-play-services(in module level build.gradle) version lower than our emulator's library version.
3. set the lower version from here, we can see 10.2.6 is better and set it in build.gradle like this compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:10.2.6' and just simple, run app again.
