I have made a very simple example of the issue I am having with the PlaceAutoCompelteActivity
. My map will show on the screen, along with 2 text search bars on top. The issue is that once I click in the textview, a keyboard will come up and a cursor will blink in the textview (as expected), however after I type the first letter (if i type quickly I can get 2 letters in), the keyboard will go away and the search box will blank out and the cursor will go away (return to the preclicked on state.) Here is a link to the documentation:
https://developers.google.com/places/android-api/autocomplete?hl=en
The code for the simple activity and the xml file are below:
java activity:
package com.blah.android.backseatbuddy;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.android.gms.common.api.Status;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Place;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.PlaceAutocompleteFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.PlaceSelectionListener;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;
public class RouteActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
// private EditText beginningDestination;
// private EditText endingDestination;
PlaceAutocompleteFragment beginningDestination;
PlaceAutocompleteFragment endingDestination;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_route);
beginningDestination = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.beginning_destination);
beginningDestination.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
@Override
public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
// TODO: Get info about the selected place.
Log.i("beginningDestination ", "Place: " + place.getName());
}
@Override
public void onError(Status status) {
// TODO: Handle the error.
Log.i("beginningDestination ", "An error occurred: " + status);
}
});
endingDestination = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.ending_destination);
endingDestination.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
@Override
public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
// TODO: Get info about the selected place.
Log.i("endingDestination ", "Place: " + place.getName());
}
@Override
public void onError(Status status) {
// TODO: Handle the error.
Log.i("endingDestination ", "An error occurred: " + status);
}
});
// beginningDestination = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.beginning_destination);
// endingDestination = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.ending_destination);
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
// Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}
}
