Answer 1

Based on the latest version of AutoComplete documentation

Option 1: Embed an AutocompleteSupportFragment

AutocompleteSupportFragment autocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment)
            getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.autocomplete_fragment);

 autocompleteFragment
    .setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, 
    Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.LAT_LNG,Place.Field.ADDRESS));

Option 2: Use an intent to launch the autocomplete activity

List fields = Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.LAT_LNG,Place.Field.ADDRESS);

// Start the autocomplete intent.
Intent intent = new Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(
        AutocompleteActivityMode.FULLSCREEN, fields)
        .build(this);
startActivityForResult(intent, AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE);

whichever fields you are interested in, you have to mention as mentioned above.

You'll get result as below:

 onPlaceSelected: 

{

"a":"#90, 1st Floor, Balaji Complex, Kuvempu Main Road, Kempapura, Hebbal 
    Kempapura, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560024, India",
"b":[],
"c":"ChIJzxEsY4QXrjsRQiF5LWRnVoc",
"d":{"latitude":13.0498176,"longitude":77.600347},
    "e":"CRAWLINK Networks Pvt. Ltd."
}

Note: The result displayed is by parsing the Place object to json
