Google Places OpeningHours.getWeekdayText() is NULL for some locations - kotlin

Question

I'm using google places to retrieve information for a place such as the business name, address, OpenHours and LatLng.
This works 95% of the time, but for some places I receive the error...
"Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.util.List com.google.android.libraries.places.api.model.OpeningHours.getWeekdayText()' on a null object reference"
Looking on Google maps, I do see these places have open hours information.
//Add a marker when a POI on map is clicked.
map.setOnPoiClickListener { poi ->
map.clear()
val poiMarker = map.addMarker(
MarkerOptions()
.position(poi.latLng)
.title(poi.name)
)
poiMarker?.showInfoWindow()
placeId = poi.placeId
Timber.i("Place ID: $placeId")
//https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/android-sdk/reference/com/google/android/libraries/places/api/net/PlacesClient#fetchPlace(com.google.android.libraries.places.api.net.FetchPlaceRequest)
val placeFields = listOf(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME, Place.Field.ADDRESS, Place.Field.OPENING_HOURS, Place.Field.LAT_LNG)
val request = FetchPlaceRequest.newInstance(placeId, placeFields)
if (!Places.isInitialized()) {
Places.initialize(requireContext(), apiKey, Locale.US);
}
val placesClient = Places.createClient(requireContext())
placesClient.fetchPlace(request)
.addOnSuccessListener { response: FetchPlaceResponse ->
val place = response.place
setLiveDataPlace(place)
}.addOnFailureListener { exception: Exception ->
if (exception is ApiException) {
Timber.i( "Place not found: ${exception.message}")
}
}
binding.buttonSave.visibility = View.VISIBLE
}
}
fun setLiveDataPlace(place: Place){
placeId = place.id as String
placeName = place.name as String
placeAddress = place.address as String
try {
placeOpenMonday = place.openingHours.weekdayText[0]
placeOpenTuesday = place.openingHours.weekdayText[1]
placeOpenWednesday = place.openingHours.weekdayText[2]
placeOpenThursday = place.openingHours.weekdayText[3]
placeOpenFriday = place.openingHours.weekdayText[4]
placeOpenSaturday = place.openingHours.weekdayText[5]
placeOpenSunday = place.openingHours.weekdayText[6]
} catch(e : Exception) {
Timber.i("Open hours exception: ${e.message}")
}
placeLat = place.latLng.latitude.toString()
placeLng = place.latLng.longitude.toString()
Timber.i("Place: $place")
}
