问题
I am trying to use the Google places API to get information on certain places. I have an
example from Google search:
here of what I am trying to find. I thought that the "types" field of the Places API text search would contain it, but this text appears to be different and not within the provided list of options. If anyone can provide some info on where this comes from and how to obtain it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

Currently you cannot obtain this data via Places API. There is a feature request in Google issue tracker to make the detailed business type available in Places API, however Google doesn't expose any ETA:

Feel free to star this feature request to express your interest and subscribe to notification from Google.

According to Google Places SDK to Android:
Since September 24, 2015 we have:
This release adds three new methods to AutocompletePrediction, giving you easy access to the primary and secondary parts of the place description as well as the full text of the description. This is useful, for example, when you want to display a short title followed by further detail about the place. See the sample code on GitHub. The new methods are as follows:
getFullText(CharacterStyle matchStyle) returns the full text of a place description. This is a combination of the primary and secondary text. Example: "Eiffel Tower, Avenue Anatole France, Paris, France".
This method is equivalent to the existing getDescription() method. In addition, it lets you highlight the sections of the description that match the search with a style of your choice, using CharacterStyle. The CharacterStyle parameter is optional. Set it to null if you don't need any highlighting.
getPrimaryText(CharacterStyle matchStyle) returns the main text describing a place. This is usually the name of the place. Examples: "Eiffel Tower", and "123 Pitt Street".
getSecondaryText(CharacterStyle matchStyle) returns the subsidiary text of a place description. This is useful, for example, as a second line when showing autocomplete predictions. Examples: "Avenue Anatole France, Paris, France", and "Sydney, New South Wales".
Accompanying the above improvement, the following methods on AutocompletePrediction, are now deprecated:
getDescription() is now deprecated.
Please use getFullText(), getPrimaryText(), and/or getSecondaryText() to retrieve the full or partial description, getMatchedSubstrings() is now deprecated. Please use getFullText() to format matches more easily.
