Android studio can not resolve com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompleteFilter

Question

I am trying to implement a autocomplete places search following this article.

http://www.truiton.com/2015/04/android-places-api-autocomplete-getplacebyid/

I have followed all steps, and also added proper dependencies in my build.gradle file.

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'
}

Also here are the meta data section in my manifest.

    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
        android:value="@string/google_maps_key" />

also I have all the required SDK components installed. Still my android studio can not resolve the places part in the following imports:

import com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompleteFilter;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompletePrediction;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompletePredictionBuffer;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Places;

this is how they look as they can not find the Places part.

How can I resolve this issue? I am using SDK 19 for my app.

Add compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:<version>, where <version> is perhaps at least: 9.2.1 under dependencies in your modules's build.gradle
