this is my code:

try {
      Task<PlaceLikelihoodBufferResponse> placeResult = mPlaceDetectionClient.getCurrentPlace(null);
      placeResult.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<PlaceLikelihoodBufferResponse>() {
        @Override public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<PlaceLikelihoodBufferResponse> task) {

          PlaceLikelihoodBufferResponse likelyPlaces = task.getResult();
          for (PlaceLikelihood placeLikelihood : likelyPlaces) {
            Log.i(TAG,
                String.format("Place '%s' has likelihood: %g", placeLikelihood.getPlace().getName(),
                    placeLikelihood.getLikelihood()));
          }
          likelyPlaces.release();

        }
      });
    } catch (SecurityException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

Here the line PlaceLikelihoodBufferResponse likelyPlaces = task.getResult(); is giving me the error.

I have created an API key for the android app by giving the package name and SHA-1 key for debug from Google API console. And enabled Google Places API for android in the libraries section. still its giving the same error. Dont know what is wrong with the implementation. Please help me.

There is an issue reported in github regarding this.

This is my app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "me.nabeelkottol.linkedinplaces"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:11.6.0'

    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}

This is my AndroidManifest.xml.

Add the below code in manifest

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