Android Places Autocomplete set lat long bounds -

i using google places autocomplete api. application has autocomplete text view. working fine followed example here .

only issue being setting latlng bounds of mountain view.

  private static final latlngbounds bounds_mountain_view = new latlngbounds(         new latlng(37.398160, -122.180831), new latlng(37.430610, -121.972090)); 

my googleapiclient

 mgoogleapiclient = new googleapiclient.builder(this)              .addapi(places.geo_data_api)              .build(); 

when try enter new orleans address, have type lot not experience user out of ca. there better way set latlng bounds depending upon current location without asking location permission or precise location position. assuming not limitation of places api limited knowledge.

thanks in advance.

unfortunately no, need location permission since permission choose in manifest determines accuracy of location returned google api client. suggest using access_coarse_location accurate within 1 city block. here how dynamically got user's location , made bound of approx. 5 mile radius around location.
