I've been trying to use the Places SDK for Android but encounter problems whenever trying to access the current place using PlaceDetectionClient.getCurrentPlace(). I have added an unrestricted API key to the manifest file and enabled the Places SDK in the Google Console. My code is below, and within a Service:

try 
 mPlaceDetectionClient.getCurrentPlace(null)
 .addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<PlaceLikelihoodBufferResponse>() 
 @Override
 public void onSuccess(PlaceLikelihoodBufferResponse likelyPlaces) 
 if (likelyPlaces != null && likelyPlaces.getCount() > 0) 
 int bestIndex = 0;
 float bestLikelihood = likelyPlaces.get(0).getLikelihood();
 for (int i = 1; i < likelyPlaces.getCount(); i++) 
 if (likelyPlaces.get(i).getLikelihood() > bestLikelihood) 
 bestIndex = i;
 
 
 PlaceManager.setPlace(likelyPlaces.get(bestIndex).getPlace());
 
 else 
 Log.e(TAG, "place was null!");
 
 likelyPlaces.release();
 stopSelf();
 
 ).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() 
 @Override
 public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) 
 Log.e(TAG, "place failure!" + e);
 stopSelf();
 
 );
 catch (SecurityException se) 
 Log.e(TAG, "SecurityException when getting place");
 stopSelf();

The specific error I am getting is as follows, and repeats every five seconds for two minutes:

11-08 13:41:33.426 3398-3429/domain.temp.wearapp E/JavaBinder: !!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!! (parcel size = 284)
11-08 13:41:33.432 3398-3429/domain.temp.wearapp W/GmsClient: IGmsServiceBroker.getService failed

 at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:164)
 at android.os.HandlerThread.run(HandlerThread.java:65)

After two minutes, it stops attempting to retry and gives the following exception in the onFailure call:

11-08 13:41:35.429 3398-3398/domain.temp.wearapp E/PlaceService: place failure!com.google.android.gms.common.api.ApiException: 8: INTERNAL_ERROR

I've spent hours trying to solve this by searching online and tweaking various things (it was originally an IntentService), but haven't had any luck. I'd really appreciate any help!
