Answer 1

I got very simple solution to this problem thanks answer by Muhammad Yasir.

    List placeFields = Arrays.asList(Place.Field.LAT_LNG, Place.Field.ADDRESS_COMPONENTS);
    autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(placeFields);

    autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
            LatLng latLng = place.getLatLng(); // This will have required latitude and longitude
         }
   }

You can specify any field you want as in the list like name, address etc.

Note: This answer is for android java but I think there will be similar approach in other languages like javascript.
