I am using a WebView to display Google Maps and the web page includes a "text" element which is a google.maps.places.Autocomplete control.

The maps themselves work perfectly but the Autocomplete field does not do the actual auto-completing. That is, as I type into it, it does not show a drop-down list of all matching locations although it does return the correct coordinates of any place I type in completely.

The same web page and the Autocomplete control work perfectly when I load them into a standard web browser.

I have tried both Java 7 Update 17 and Java 8 b84 and it doesn't work in either version.
