Answer 1

Make sure you have added the following meta-data in your manifest file.

<application
    ...

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
        android:value="YOUR_API_KEY" />

</application>

Also check for any API restrictions in your Google API console. If you have enabled any API restriction to the API_KEY, then it will work only for the particular API. You have to add Places SDK for Android under API restrictions.

Answer 2

You can see a discussion here about this issue. For me the problem occurred on the emulator but it was working on a physical device.
