PlaceAutocompleteFragment not working on Android 5.0 & Up

Question

I want to use PlaceAutocompleteFragment in My Application.

I successfully Implemented PlaceAutocompleteFragment and Its working fine.(In Samsung S4 and HTC Desire).

But When I checked this functionality in Android 5.0 (Mi4i) and Android 5.1.1 (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1) and Android 6.0 (Moto G Turbo) App is crashed....

I am using below code in Fragment which is implement PlaceSelectionListener.

PlaceAutocompleteFragment autocompleteFragment = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.autocomplete_fragment);
autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(this);

@Override
    public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Place selection : " + place.getAddress(),
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    /**
     * Callback invoked when PlaceAutocompleteFragment encounters an error.
     */
    @Override
    public void onError(Status status) {

        Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Place selection failed: " + status.getStatusMessage(),
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

In XML layout file.

<fragment
      android:id="@+id/autocomplete_fragment"
      android:name="com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.PlaceAutocompleteFragment"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

From your stack trace, it looks like you're using the Autocomplete fragment nested inside another fragment (FragmentSearchPlace). Maybe using getChildFragmentManager() instead of getFragmentManager() would work.

`Call requires API level 17 (current min is 15): android.app.Fragment#getChildFragmentManager`. But my min sdk is 15. And I want to give support sdk 15 and Up. – Chirag Savsani May 31 '16 at 05:00
Hey thanks for pointing out for getChildFragmentManager(). Its working fine if I change API level. But I want API level 15. Is there any way to do this? – Chirag Savsani May 31 '16 at 05:29

You don't add a fragment into other fragment by the property "name" in your Layout. You must use:

autocompleteFragment = new SupportPlaceAutocompleteFragment();
FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();           
transaction.replace(R.id.fragme_autocomplete_destino,autocompleteFragment);
transaction.commit();
