Permissions

On Android you'll need to add either the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to your Android Manifest file (located under android/app/src/main). To do so add one of the following two lines as direct children of the <manifest> tag:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

Also you should add internet permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

iOS

On iOS you'll need to add the NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription to your Info.plist file (located under ios/Runner) in order to access the device's location. Simply open your Info.plist file and add the following:

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<true/>
<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<true/>

Usage

Import the package:

import 'package:address_search_text_field/address_search_text_field.dart';

Implement it by creating an AddressSearchTextField variable. You can call widget function which returns a TextField Widget. It requires context, country and onDone as parameters, also can add exceptions for found addresses, InputDecoration and TextStyle for TextField.

Widget addressSearchTextField = AddressSearchTextField.widget(
  context: context,
  controller: controller,
  decoration: InputDecoration(),
  style: TextStyle(),
  country: country,
  exceptions: <String>[],
  coordForRef: bool,
  onDone: (AddressPoint value) {},
);

Parameters	Description
context	BuildContext (Not Null) (required)
controller	TextEditingController (optional)
decoration	InputDecoration (optional)
style	TextStyle (optional)
country	String (Not Null) (required)
exceptions	List < String > (optional)
coordForRef	bool (optional)
onDone	Function(AddressPoint) (required)

Widget addressSearchBox = AddressSearchBox(
  controller: controller,
  country: country,
  exceptions: <String>[],
  coordForRef: bool,
  onDone: (AddressPoint value) {},
);

Parameters	Description
controller	TextEditingController (optional)
country	String (Not Null) (required)
exceptions	List < String > (optional)
coordForRef	bool (optional)
onDone	Function(AddressPoint) (required)

At onDone function you get an AddressPoint object with confirmation if place has been found, full address and coordinates. Example

Outcomes

onDone: (AddressPoint point) {
  print(point.toString());
}

There are three possible outcomes:

1. If no search has been performed then the object will have null values ​​in its address, latitude and longitude variables.
2. If a place has been found from the reference, all the variables will be initialized.
3. If the desired location has not been found and the reference entered by the user is selected, there will be no latitude and longitude values ​​and the address will be the user's reference since nothing was found.

NOTE: User usually has to tap the text field in the search bar again to find the place with its full reference
