Setup

Pubspec changes:

      dependencies:
        map_location_picker: ^0.0.7

Sample example:

import 'package:location_map_picker/location_map_picker.dart';
MapPicker(
apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
onPin: (PinData? result) {
...
},
);

Getting Started

• Get an API key at https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/.

• And don't forget to enable the following APIs in https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis/

  • Maps SDK for Android
  • Maps SDK for iOS
  • Places API
  • Geocoding API
  • Maps JavaScript API

• And ensure to enable billing for the project.

For more details, see Getting started with Google Maps Platform.

Android

1. Set the minSdkVersion in android/app/build.gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 20
    }
}

This means that app will only be available for users that run Android SDK 20 or higher.

2. Specify your API key in the application manifest android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest ...
  <application ...
    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
               android:value="YOUR KEY HERE"/>

Hybrid Composition

To use Hybrid Composition to render the GoogleMap widget on Android, set AndroidGoogleMapsFlutter.useAndroidViewSurface to true.

if (defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.android) {
  AndroidGoogleMapsFlutter.useAndroidViewSurface = true;
}

iOS

To set up, 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: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
  ) -> Bool {
    GMSServices.provideAPIKey("YOUR KEY HERE")
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
    return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
  }
}

Note

The following permissions are not required to use Google Maps Android API v2, but are recommended.

android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION Allows the API to use WiFi or mobile cell data (or both) to determine the device's location. The API returns the location with an accuracy approximately equivalent to a city block.

android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION Allows the API to determine as precise a location as possible from the available location providers, including the Global Positioning System (GPS) as well as WiFi and mobile cell data.

---

You must also explicitly declare that your app uses the android.hardware.location.network or android.hardware.location.gps hardware features if your app targets Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher and uses the ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission in order to receive location updates from the network or a GPS, respectively.

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.network" android:required="false" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" android:required="false"  />

---

The following permissions are defined in the package manifest, and are automatically merged into your app's manifest at build time. You don't need to add them explicitly to your manifest:

android.permission.INTERNET Used by the API to download map tiles from Google Maps servers.

android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE Allows the API to check the connection status in order to determine whether data can be downloaded.

See the example directory for a complete sample app.
