Cannot Resolve Symbol "Place.Field"

Question

I am trying to migrate new Auto Complete Place Picker I have updated library from "com.google.android.gms:play-services" to new "com.google.android.libraries.places:places-compat:2.0.0" and implemented SupportPlaceAutocompleteFragment.

All works fine however the error I am getting is:

"Place.Field" Cannot resolve symbol 'Field'

Below is my code:

 // Initialize the AutocompleteSupportFragment.
 SupportPlaceAutocompleteFragment supportPlaceAutocompleteFragment = (SupportPlaceAutocompleteFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.autocomplete_fragment);


//List<Place.Field> placeFields = Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME);
// Specify the types of place data to return.
supportPlaceAutocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME));

// Set up a PlaceSelectionListener to handle the response.
supportPlaceAutocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
    @Override
    public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
        // TODO: Get info about the selected place.
        Toast.makeText(MapsActivity.this, "Place: " + place.getName() + ", " + place.getId(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Log.i("", "Place: " + place.getName() + ", " + place.getId());
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(Status status) {
    }
});

supportPlaceAutocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME));

Can you help me solve this error:

"Place.Field" Cannot resolve symbol 'Field'

Answer 1

The SupportPlaceAutocompleteFragment class is deprecated. Please use the AutocompleteSupportFragment class instead. Refer to Google's migration guide and the Place Autocomplete's guide.

// Initialize the AutocompleteSupportFragment.
AutocompleteSupportFragment supportPlaceAutocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.autocomplete_fragment);

//List<Place.Field> placeFields = Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME);
// Specify the types of place data to return.
supportPlaceAutocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME));

// Set up a PlaceSelectionListener to handle the response.
supportPlaceAutocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
    @Override
    public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
        Toast.makeText(MapsActivity.this, "Place: " + place.getName() + ", " + place.getId(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Log.i("", "Place: " + place.getName() + ", " + place.getId());
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(Status status) {
    }
});

supportPlaceAutocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME));

Hope this helps!

Ensure that you import the correct Place class.

import com.google.android.libraries.places.api.model.Place;

Hope this helps.
