Couldn't connect to Google API client

Question

I can't fetch last known location. I have enabled Geocoding API and Google Places API for Android in google console. I added api key to manifest file:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
    android:value="@string/google_api_key" />

but I keep getting a message in the console: "Couldn't connect to Google API client: ConnectionResult{statusCode=API_UNAVAILABLE, resolution=null}"

---

UPDATE

I use google sample

protected synchronized void buildGoogleApiClient() {
    mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .addApi(LocationServices.API)
            .build();
}

@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
    Location mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
            mGoogleApiClient);
    if (mLastLocation != null) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "Latitude = " + mLastLocation.getLatitude() + "\n" +
                "Longitude = " + mLastLocation.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

@Override
public void onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult connectionResult) {
    Toast.makeText(this, connectionResult.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

onConnected and onConnectionFailed do not call.

And also I use Android-ReactiveLocation but both methods are output to the console: Couldn't connect to Google API client: ConnectionResult{statusCode=API_UNAVAILABLE, resolution=null}

Answer 1

I had the same problem

Couldn't connect to Google API client: ConnectionResult{statusCode=API_UNAVAILABLE, resolution=null}

because Google Places API for Android was not enabled in the API Console.
