I'm using the GoogleApiClient and Places API through Places.GeoDataApi.getAutocompletePredictions() to get address/place autocomplete suggestions (https://developers.google.com/places/android/autocomplete). The method requires a GoogleApiClient object, a String to autocomplete, and a LatLngBounds object to limit the search range. This is what my usage looks like:
PendingResult<AutocompletePredictionBuffer> results =
Places.GeoDataApi.getAutocompletePredictions(googleApiClient, constraint.toString(), bounds, filter);
According to the documentation, the bounds parameter is required. But when I look at the webservice version (https://developers.google.com/places/webservice/autocomplete#location_biasing) I see a lot more parameters that can be used including location and radius for location biasing.
Is it possible to do the same thing for getAutocompletePredictions() method or do I have to write my own code to hit the webservice, supply the api key, and parse the response? Using GeoDataApi seems convenient because it handles a lot of those details, but I haven't been able to find a good way to easily limit its search range in a smart way. Seems like this be a fairly common scenario, so there must be some widely accepted pattern or solution for this that I just haven't been able to find yet.
