google_places_picker

Google Places Autocomplete for Flutter

Getting Started

Setting up

1. Run the initialize method in your main.dart's initState (or anywhere it would only be called once) with your API keys as arguments:

import 'package:google_places_picker/google_places_picker.dart';

PluginGooglePlacePicker.initialize(
      androidApiKey: "YOUR_ANDROID_API_KEY",
      iosApiKey: "YOUR_IOS_API_KEY",
);

Usage

You can use the plugin via the showAutocomplete methods, which takes a PlaceAutocompleteMode paramater to know whether to display the fullscreen or the overlay control on Android (it has no effect on iOS). It returns a Place object with the following properties:

• name
• id
• address
• latitude
• longitude

Place Picker deprecation

As of 2019-01-27, the Place Picker has been deprecated by Google. As such, this plugin has removed that functionality. If you want to keep using it until 2019-07-29, when it will be completely disabled, switch to the legacy branch:

google_places_picker:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/derTuca/flutter_google_places_picker.git
      ref: legacy

The initialization steps for the old version of the plugin are as follows:

1. Go to your AndroidManifest.xml at android/app/src/main and add the following in between the application opening and closing tag, replacing YOUR_API_KEY with your api key, which you can get from the Google Developer Console:

<meta-data
      android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
      android:value="YOUR_API_KEY"/>

2. Go to AppDelegate.m/.swift in ios/Runner, and in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method add the following lines:

• Swift

import GooglePlaces
import GoogleMaps

GMSPlacesClient.provideAPIKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
GMSServices.provideAPIKey("YOUR_API_KEY")

• Objective-C

@import GooglePlaces;
@import GoogleMaps;

[GMSPlacesClient provideAPIKey:@"YOUR_API_KEY"];
[GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"YOUR_API_KEY"];
