• Dependencies

  Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

  Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

      allprojects {
  	    repositories {
  		    ...
  		    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  	    }
      }

  Step 2. Add the dependency

  Add it in your app module build.gradle:

      dependencies {
          ...
          implementation 'com.github.Mindinventory:VanillaPlacePicker:1.0.0'
      }

• Implementation

  Step 1. Add GOOGLE MAP API KEY to your AndroidManifest.xml:

    <application ... >
      ...
      
      <meta-data
          android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
          android:value="@string/YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY" />
      
    </application>

  Step 2. Add VanillaPlacePicker Builder in to your activity class:

          VanillaPlacePicker.Builder(this, KeyUtils.REQUEST_PLACE_PICKER)
              .withLocation(23.057582, 72.534458)
  
              /*
              * Configuration for AutoComplete UI
              * */
              .setRegion("IN")
              .setLanguage("en")
              .isOpenNow(true) // Returns only those places that are open for business at the time the query is sent.
              .setTintColor(R.color.colorPrimaryAmber) // Apply Tint color to Back, Clear button of AutoComplete UI
              ...
  
              /*
              * Configuration for Map UI
              * */
              .enableMap() // Enable to select place from map
              .setMapStyle(R.raw.style_json) // containing the JSON style declaration for night-mode styling
              .setMapPinDrawable(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_mylocation) // To give custom pin image for map marker
              ...
  
              .build()
        
      ...
  
      //----- override onActivityResult function to get Vanilla Place Picker result.
      override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
          super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
          if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && data != null) {
              when (requestCode) {
                  REQUEST_PLACE_PICKER -> {
                      val vanillaAddress = data.getSerializableExtra(KeyUtils.SELECTED_PLACE) as VanillaAddress
                      // Do needful with your vanillaAddress
                  }
              }
          }
      }
