Selective Google Play Services API not finding classes

Question

I've updated play services to the latest version, which currently is at 9.2.0 and I also want to use selective modules for the google play services.

//    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.2.0'

The issue I'm having, is that now the imports like:

import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Place;

import com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompleteFilter;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.AutocompletePrediction;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Place;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.PlaceBuffer;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Places;

Cannot be resolved anymore, although in their documentation it is stated that location services should provide Places features also.

Can someone help me with this Issue? Thank you.

Did you notice that we have `play-services-places` too ? seems like in 9.2.0 they splitted it — Selvin, Jun 28 '16 at 13:46
@Selvin I studied the list from this page: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup#add_google_play_services_to_your_project. I didn't notice, I'm trying it now. — Ionut Negru, Jun 28 '16 at 13:51
@Selvin You were right, they splitted the services. I gues the documentation wasn't updated. Thank you. — Ionut Negru, Jun 28 '16 at 13:56

Based on the comment added by @Selvin, I managed to find the solution for my issue.

It seems that on version 9.x.x, Google Play Services API for Places was moved from play-services-location into play-services-places. Thus, now I'm having the following dependencies for Google Play Services APIs:

//    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:9.2.0'

You found a solution and you posted the answer for other people's benefit, thanks. — Bugs Happen, Dec 07 '16 at 06:34
