Google Places API in Flutter

Question

I am working on google places API with Flutter. I am working by referring the example. But I got errors for google places API classes as

Eg:

Undefined class 'GoogleMapsPlaces'. Try changing the name to the name of an existing class, or creating a class with the name

I imported the flutter_google_places in my dart file as:

import 'package:flutter_google_places/flutter_google_places.dart'; But still I got the error for all classes.

Using flutter_google_places version 0.2.3.

Solution 1

GoogleMapPlaces is available on different library, not in flutter_google_places...

it's available on https://pub.dev/packages/google_maps_webservice

Solution 2

you can find another package for google place google_place

var googlePlace = GooglePlace("Your-Key");
var result = await googlePlace.autocomplete.get("1600 Amphitheatre");

Does import also show error?

@CopsOnRoad no, it's fine.

[sainu]

@CopsOnRoad no, actually the import import 'package:flutter_google_places/flutter_google_places.dart'; is greyed out and showing unused import.

[sainu]

let me check with the example

your code snippet is similar to this: github.com/fluttercommunity/flutter_google_places/blob/maste‌​r/… ,, so I thought it's the same problem....

As @HayiNukman mentioned, you need to import google_maps_webservice packages to be able to use GoogleMapPlaces class, as it extends from GoogleWebServices. The package that you imported flutter_google_places is used to leverage the autocomplete field and the places.

As a general rule you should describe why this one is better or probably even why you think this will solve the problem the poster has, as part of that it would probably also be beneficial to describe why the original package has the particular problem, otherwise your suggestion seems like flail around trying packages until something works. which is probably not the strategy you actually want them to pursue.
