I do recommend to use get the Place Id like this. It would be better than call the API directly. I stumble for this issue all day. so I hope that it would be help. who're finding the way out to get place ID from your current location. for android

Kotlin

val mPlaceDetectionClient = Places.getPlaceDetectionClient(this.context!!)  
val placeResult =  mPlaceDetectionClient.getCurrentPlace(null) 
placeResult.addOnCompleteListener(object : OnCompleteListener{
    override fun onComplete(p0: Task) {
        val likelyPlaces = p0.result
        if(likelyPlaces.any()){
            // get the place ID from code below
            placeId = likelyPlaces[0].place.id  }
    }

})

or if who are implementing or developing on another language such a java. you can implement your code according to a reference below.
