Q:

style/PlacesAutocompleteThemeOverlay not found in new Google Place picker

build.gradle

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:16.1.0'

Implementation

private fun startAutocompleteActivity() {
        val fields = listOf(
                Place.Field.ADDRESS,
                Place.Field.ADDRESS_COMPONENTS,
                Place.Field.ID,
                Place.Field.LAT_LNG,
                Place.Field.NAME
        )
        if (!Places.isInitialized())
            Places.initialize(applicationContext, getString(R.string.google_maps_key))

        val intentPlacePicker = Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(AutocompleteActivityMode.FULLSCREEN, fields)
                .build(this)
        startActivityForResult(intentPlacePicker, KeyUtils.REQUEST_PLACE_PICKER)
    }

I'm getting below issue

Android resource linking failed
/app/build/intermediates/merged_manifests/mockDebug/AndroidManifest.xml:98: error: resource string/places_autocomplete_label (aka com.demo.app.mock:string/places_autocomplete_label) not found.
/app/build/intermediates/merged_manifests/mockDebug/AndroidManifest.xml:98: error: resource style/PlacesAutocompleteThemeOverlay (aka com.demo.app.mock:style/PlacesAutocompleteThemeOverlay) not found.
error: failed processing manifest.

Thanks in advance!

A:

implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:2.0.0'
 Add this to your app module gradle as well. This is not a proper solution, but it seems to fix the issue. I hope Google releases a new version with the fix.
