I was using the old Place SDK which was working fine But it is going to be depreciated and I move to new place SDK. I got keep the crashing report from a few devices.
Crashes Report:
Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException
Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.islamuna.ramadan/com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.AutocompleteActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Places must be initialized.
SDK version:
implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.1.0'
Even i initialize Place sample code:
Places.initialize(getApplicationContext(), "mykey", Locale.US);
autocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment)
getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete_fragment);
autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.LAT_LNG));
autocompleteFragment.setText(Global.getStoredStringValue(getApplicationContext(), getString(R.string.KEY_CITY)));
autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
@Override
public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
try {
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
@Override
public void onError(Status status) {
// TODO: Handle the error.
}
});
Layout XML
<fragment
android:id="@+id/place_autocomplete_fragment"
android:name="com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.AutocompleteSupportFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/border_filled" />
I was also facing the same issue but I resolved with this code.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:2.0.0'
}
First Step: Initialize the Places SDK In OnCreate Method or you can initialize it on your Application Class
if (!Places.isInitialized()) {
Places.initialize(getApplicationContext(), getString(R.string.api_key), Locale.US);
}
Second Step:
var fields=Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID,Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.LAT_LNG)
var intent = Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(AutocompleteActivityMode.FULLSCREEN, fields).build(this)
startActivityForResult(intent, PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST)
And in Activity Result
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (requestCode == PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
val place =Autocomplete.getPlaceFromIntent(data);
lat = place.latLng?.latitude
lng = place.latLng?.longitude
}
else if (resultCode == AutocompleteActivity.RESULT_ERROR) {
// TODO: Handle the error.
var status = Autocomplete.getStatusFromIntent(data)
Log.i("address", status.getStatusMessage());
}
}
}
This is the Kotlin Example but you can convert in JAVA Also, you can refer to this URL for Examples. Google Places SDK Example
