fl_place_autocomplete_android 0.1.0

Android implementation of fl_place_autocomplete.

fl_place_autocomplete_android

The Android implementation of fl_place_autocomplete, built on the Places SDK for Android (New).

This package is endorsed: depend on fl_place_autocomplete and it is included automatically.

Setup

• minSdk 23 or higher.
• Pass your API key (with Places API (New) enabled) at build time: --dart-define=GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY_ANDROID=... (or the generic GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY, or --dart-define-from-file=env.json). The value is compiled into the app, so restrict the key to your package name + SHA-1.
• Fallback when no define is set: the manifest meta-data in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, inside <application>:

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

If neither is set, calls fail with PlaceAutocompleteErrorCode.invalidApiKey.

Platform notes

• Language: the Places SDK for Android has no per-request language. Results use the locale the SDK was initialized with (the device/app locale), so languageCode passed to predictions or place details is ignored on Android.
• Photos: fetchPhoto returns a resolved photo URI (PhotoData.uri), not bytes.
• If another plugin already initialized the Places SDK in the same app, that initialization (and its key) is reused and the key above is not needed.
