PlaceAutoCompleteFragment

Add this to your project to add place autocomplete functionality for example : searching places, entering destination, etc.

Usage

For a working implementation of this project see the /app folder

1. Include the library as local library project or add this dependency in your build.gradle.

         
           dependencies {
             compile 'com.outlander.placeautocomplete:PlaceAutoComplete:1.0.1'
           }
         
       

2. Add a PlaceAutoComplete fragment container FrameLayout to your corresponding activity's xml.

         
           <FrameLayout
             android:id="@+id/placeautofragment_container"
             android:layout_width="match_parent"
             android:layout_height="match_parent"
           />
         
       

3. Initialize the PlaceAutoCompleteFragment in the onCreate of your activity.

         
           PlaceAutoCompleteFragment placeAutoCompleteFragment = PlaceAutoCompleteFragment.getInstance(getBaseContext(), true, false);
           placeAutoCompleteFragment.addOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceAutoCompleteFragment.IOnPlaceSelectedListener() {
               @Override
               public void onPlaceSelected(PlaceData placeData) {
                   //TODO: Add your action
               }
           @Override
           public void onErrorOccurred(int erroCode) {
             //TODO: Alert user based on the errorcode
             // 0 - Network Issue
             // 1 - Zero results
           }
       });
     </code>
   </pre>
   
     

4. Call the addFragment method to add the PlaceAutoCompleteFragment to the container.

             
           private void addFragment(Fragment fragment) {
             FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
             FragmentTransaction transaction = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();
             transaction.add(R.id.container, fragment);
             transaction.addToBackStack("Any random string or even null will work");
             transaction.commit();
           }
         
       

5. Override the onBackPressed of the acitivty to manage your fragments accordingly. Below is a basic snippet

             
           @Override
           public void onBackPressed() {
               if (getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.container) != null) {
                   getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate();
               } else {
                   super.onBackPressed();
               }
           }
         
       

6. Lastly, add the following code to your app's build.gradle under the android section

             
           android {
             ...
             useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
             dataBinding {
               enabled = true
             }
             ..
           }
         
       

Ready to go!
