Specify your API key in the application manifest android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
and add ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
permission:
<manifest ...
<!-- Add this permission -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<application ...
<!-- Add your api key here -->
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="YOUR KEY HERE"/>
<activity ..../>
</application>
</manifest>
Update your gradle.properties file with this:
android.enableJetifier=true
android.useAndroidX=true
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M
Please also make sure that you have those dependencies in your build.gradle:
// parent level build.gradle (android/build.gradle)
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
}
...
// app level build.gradle (android/app/build.gradle)
compileSdkVersion 28
iOS
Specify your API key in the application delegate ios/Runner/AppDelegate.m
:
#include "AppDelegate.h"
#include "GeneratedPluginRegistrant.h"
#import "GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h"
@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"YOUR KEY HERE"];
[GeneratedPluginRegistrant registerWithRegistry:self];
return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}
@end
Or in your swift code, specify your API key in the application delegate ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift
:
import UIKit
import Flutter
import GoogleMaps
@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
override func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
GMSServices.provideAPIKey("YOUR KEY HERE")
GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}
}
Opt-in to the embedded views preview by adding a boolean property to the app's Info.plist
file
with the key io.flutter.embedded_views_preview
and the value YES
.
Also add these to the dict values in Info.plist
for location request to work on iOS
Sample Usage
Import the package into your code
import 'package:place_picker/place_picker.dart';
Create a method like below, and call it in onTap
of a button or InkWell. A LocationResult
will be returned
with the name and lat/lng of the selected place. You can then handle the result in any way you want.
Pass in an optional LatLng displayLocation
to display that location instead. This is useful when you want the map
to display the previously selected location.
void showPlacePicker() async {
LocationResult result = await Navigator.of(context).push(MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) =>
PlacePicker("YOUR API KEY",
displayLocation: customLocation,
)));
// Handle the result in your way
print(result);
}
