Places | Place Search KTX

Description

This repository contains Kotlin extensions (KTX) for:

1. The Places SDK for Android

It enables you to use Place Search API.

Requirements

• API level 18+
• Places SDK through Google Play Services

Installation

In order to use the library, include the following dependency:

dependencies {
      implementation 'com.urmich.android:placesearch-ktx:1.1.0'
 }

The result of the API call can be converted into a set of Place objects. Such conversion accelerates the usage of Place Search and integrates the package into Place Details SDK. Do not forget to have Google Places library included.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:2.6.0'
}

Update the local.properties file in your root directory (Note: this file should NOT be under version control to protect your API key) and add a single line to local.properties that looks like PLACES_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY", where YOUR_API_KEY is the API key you obtained in the first step. You can also take a look at the local.defaults.properties as an example. This is the same key you created to use Places SDK.

Demo App

A demo application is contained within this repository that illustrates the use of this KTX library.

To run the demo app, you'll have to:

1. Get a Places API key
2. Update the local.properties file in your root directory and add lines to local.properties that looks like PLACES_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" and MAPS_API_KEY="YOUR_MAPS_API_KEY".

• YOUR_API_KEY is the API key you obtained in the first step. It is the same key you use to access Places SDK.
• YOUR_MAPS_API_KEY is the key to the use google map. You can also take a look at the local.defaults.properties as an example.

3. Build and run
