He visto el tutorial (tutorial ) para encontrar la ciudad usando la vista de texto autocompletado en android.i he hecho todo lo que se indica, pero ahora cuando lo golpeoesta url

siempre me lanza una excepción diciendo:java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "maps.googleapis.com": No address associated with hostname

pero el mismo url funciona bien cuando golpeo a través del navegador y también estoy obteniendo los resultados.

Aquí está el código que estoy golpeando con:

public class PlacesAutoCompleteAdapter extends ArrayAdapter< String > implements Filterable{
 private ArrayList<String> resultList;
 private static final String LOG_TAG = "ExampleApp";

 private static final String PLACES_API_BASE = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place";
 private static final String TYPE_AUTOCOMPLETE = "/autocomplete";
 private static final String OUT_JSON = "/json";

 private static final String API_KEY = "I have generated the correct api key also";


public PlacesAutoCompleteAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId) {
    super(context, textViewResourceId);

}


@Override
public int getCount() {
    return resultList.size();
}

@Override
public String getItem(int index) {
    return resultList.get(index);
}

@Override
public Filter getFilter() {
    Filter filter = new Filter() {
        @Override
        protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
              FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();
                if (constraint != null) {
                    // Retrieve the autocomplete results.
                    resultList = autocomplete(constraint.toString());

                    // Assign the data to the FilterResults
                    filterResults.values = resultList;
                    filterResults.count = resultList.size();
                }
                return filterResults;
        }

        @Override
        protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
                FilterResults results) {
             if (results != null && results.count > 0) {
                    notifyDataSetChanged();
                }
                else {
                    notifyDataSetInvalidated();
                }
        }
    };
    return filter;
}

private ArrayList<String> autocomplete(String input) {
    ArrayList<String> resultList = null;

    HttpURLConnection conn = null;
    StringBuilder jsonResults = new StringBuilder();
    try {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(PLACES_API_BASE + TYPE_AUTOCOMPLETE + OUT_JSON);
        sb.append("?sensor=false&key=" + API_KEY);
    //   sb.append("&components=country:in");
        sb.append("&input=" + URLEncoder.encode(input, "utf8"));
      // sb.append("&input=" + input);

       System.out.println("URL ---------------: "+sb.toString());
        URL url = new URL(sb.toString());
        conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream());

        // Load the results into a StringBuilder
        int read;
        char[] buff = new char[1024];
        while ((read = in.read(buff)) != -1) {
            jsonResults.append(buff, 0, read);
        }
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error processing Places API URL", e);
        return resultList;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
       // Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error connecting to Places API", e);
        return resultList;
    } finally {
        if (conn != null) {
            conn.disconnect();
        }
    }

    try {
        // Create a JSON object hierarchy from the results
        JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonResults.toString());
        JSONArray predsJsonArray = jsonObj.getJSONArray("predictions");

        // Extract the Place descriptions from the results
        resultList = new ArrayList<String>(predsJsonArray.length());
        for (int i = 0; i < predsJsonArray.length(); i++) {
            resultList.add(predsJsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("description"));
        }
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Cannot process JSON results", e);
    }

    return resultList;
}

}

oops lo siento chicos. Encontré la solución que fue un error tonto. No había definido el permiso de INTERNET en el manifiesto.
