Places class is removed from android play services 9.2.0

Question

Today, I updated to google play services to 9.2.0. I got an error

com.google.android.gms.location.places.Places

not found. tha

Answer 1

In 9.0.2, the 'places' library was inside 'location' library. In 9.2, you need to add 'places' library as dependency:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:9.2.0'

Answer 2

The document is not updated as of 28th June. I suggest downgrading play services library to 9.0.2. (docs last updated on 23th June).

Edited: as Emerson suggested,

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:9.2.0'

add that for places library to your Gradle. It's not updated in official documentation.

Answer 3

for play service 9.2.0 places import has changed from

import com.google.android.gms.location.places;

to

import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Place;

or you need all places folder

import com.google.android.gms.location.places.*;
