Why does place.latLng return null?

Question

Call on place.latLng which calls getLatLng() under the hood, on Place's object returns null and not the coordinates.

autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(object : 
PlaceSelectionListener {
        override fun onPlaceSelected(place: Place) {
            Toast.makeText(this@MainActivity, "" + place.latLng.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                .show()
        }

        override fun onError(status: Status) {
            Toast.makeText(this@MainActivity, "" + status.statusMessage, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                .show()
        }

    })

Answer 1

I forgot to add Place.Field.LAT_LNG to the place fields array.

Before:
    var placeFields = listOf(
            Place.Field.ID,
            Place.Field.NAME,
            Place.Field.ADDRESS,
        )
After: 

    var placeFields = listOf(
            Place.Field.ID,
            Place.Field.NAME,
            Place.Field.ADDRESS,
            Place.Field.LAT_LNG
        )

When you specify the array:

autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(placeFields)
