Place Picker is a really simple UI widget provided by Places API. It provides a built-in map, current location, nearby places, search abilities and autocomplete.

This is a sample usage of Place Picker UI widget.

private static int PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST = 1;

private TextView txtPlaceName;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_place_picker_sample);

    txtPlaceName = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.txtPlaceName);
    Button btnSelectPlace = (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.btnSelectPlace);
    btnSelectPlace.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            openPlacePickerView();
        }
    });

}

private void openPlacePickerView(){
    PlacePicker.IntentBuilder builder = new PlacePicker.IntentBuilder();
    try {
        startActivityForResult(builder.build(this), PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST);
    } catch (GooglePlayServicesRepairableException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            Place place = PlacePicker.getPlace(this, data);
            Log.i(LOG_TAG, String.format("Place Name : %s", place.getName()));
            Log.i(LOG_TAG, String.format("Place Address : %s", place.getAddress()));
            Log.i(LOG_TAG, String.format("Place Id : %s", place.getId()));

            txtPlaceName.setText(String.format("Place : %s - %s" , place.getName() , place.getAddress()));
