Android Google Places Get Nearby Places (Google Play 15)

You need Places SDK for Android to get places data.

Setup Google Play Services

Edit build.gradle (Module)

dependencies {
    // https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases
    // implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:15.0.1"
}

NOTE: Set Up Google Play Services

Add your API key

NOTE: If you already setup Android Google Maps, this step is already done.

Edit AndroidManifest.xml

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

Refer to Get API Key and Signup or Get API Key.

Access Google API Console, click Credentials and create API keys.
Make sure Application restrictions is Android apps
Put in correct Package name and SHA-1 certificate fingerprint. Refer to Get SHA-1 Fingerprint Of Keystore Certificate.
Copy the API key

NOTE: You can refer to Android Google Maps for some setup guidance as well.

Get Nearby Places

val placeDetectionClient = Places.getPlaceDetectionClient(context)val task = placeDetectionClient.getCurrentPlace(null)// val result = Tasks.await(placeResult)placeResult.addOnCompleteListener { task ->    val result = task.result    for (placeLikelihood in result) {        val place = placeLikelihood.place        // place.id, place.name, place.address, place.placeTypes, place.latLng    }    result.release()}

Refer to Current Place.

NOTE: Sadly there is no way to find nearby places by specifying a specific location. You can search at particular location using autocomplete, but a query string is required.

Display attributions

To use google places without a Map, you need display attributions.

To display "Powered by Google" drawable in TextView

val attributionText = SpannableStringBuilder(" ").apply {    setSpan(ImageSpan(context, R.drawable.powered_by_google_dark), 0, 1, Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)}textView.text = attributionText

You need to display third-party attributions as well.
