The following code snippet which uses Google Places API for android worked for me
Places.GeoDataApi.getPlaceById(mGoogleApiClient, placeId)
.setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<PlaceBuffer>() {
@Override
public void onResult(PlaceBuffer places) {
if (places.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
final Place myPlace = places.get(0);
LatLng queriedLocation = myPlace.getLatLng();
Log.v("Latitude is", "" + queriedLocation.latitude);
Log.v("Longitude is", "" + queriedLocation.longitude);
}
places.release();
}
});
