Even i initialize Place sample code:

Places.initialize(getApplicationContext(), "mykey", Locale.US);

autocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment)
                    getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete_fragment);
            autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.LAT_LNG));
            autocompleteFragment.setText(Global.getStoredStringValue(getApplicationContext(), getString(R.string.KEY_CITY)));

            autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
                @Override
                public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
                    try {

                        }
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                    }

                }

                @Override
                public void onError(Status status) {
                    // TODO: Handle the error.

                }
            });

Did you init the PlacesClient? This is maybe the reason for your issues.

[amuramoto]

Are you initializing places in the onCreate?

I experience similar issue.
First study their migration documentation.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/android-sdk/client-migration

//Initialize this globally
PlacesClient placesClient;

//Inside your onCreate do the following
Places.initialize(getApplicationContext(), getString(R.string.Apikey)); placesClient = Places.createClient(this);
