I've created a GPS-app, which shows my current location on a map on a Android Emulator via Android Studios. Now, as the title mentions, I've been trying to get the nearby places to work for a really long time now, without any success. As it seems, most of the video's and guides I've looked at has been updated, and I really don't know what to do. This is how my app currently looks like:
Application Image
I've created a button to locate all the resturants, since I have to start somewhere. I've created the API-key and enabled billing for places. I've fetched the demo api and created a model from it with different Pojo classes, such as Geometry, Location, MyPlaces, Photos, Results, etc. These contains methods that can be used to get information from the locations.
Now I need to create a method called something like nearByPlace();, but I don't know how to implement it correctly, and this is what I need a bit of help with. This is what my MapActivity looks like:
