I have seen the tutorial( tutorial ) to find the city using autocomplete text view in android.i have done everything that is instructed but now when i hit this url
it always throws me an exception saying : java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "maps.googleapis.com": No address associated with hostname
but the same url work fine when i hit through browser and i am getting the results also.
Here is the code i m hitting with :
public class PlacesAutoCompleteAdapter extends ArrayAdapter< String > implements Filterable{
private ArrayList<String> resultList;
private static final String LOG_TAG = "ExampleApp";
private static final String PLACES_API_BASE = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place";
private static final String TYPE_AUTOCOMPLETE = "/autocomplete";
private static final String OUT_JSON = "/json";
private static final String API_KEY = "I have generated the correct api key also";
public PlacesAutoCompleteAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId) {
super(context, textViewResourceId);
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return resultList.size();
}
@Override
public String getItem(int index) {
return resultList.get(index);
}
@Override
public Filter getFilter() {
Filter filter = new Filter() {
@Override
protected FilterResults performFiltering(CharSequence constraint) {
FilterResults filterResults = new FilterResults();
if (constraint != null) {
// Retrieve the autocomplete results.
resultList = autocomplete(constraint.toString());
// Assign the data to the FilterResults
filterResults.values = resultList;
filterResults.count = resultList.size();
}
return filterResults;
}
@Override
protected void publishResults(CharSequence constraint,
FilterResults results) {
if (results != null && results.count > 0) {
notifyDataSetChanged();
}
else {
notifyDataSetInvalidated();
}
}
};
return filter;
}
private ArrayList<String> autocomplete(String input) {
ArrayList<String> resultList = null;
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
StringBuilder jsonResults = new StringBuilder();
try {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(PLACES_API_BASE + TYPE_AUTOCOMPLETE + OUT_JSON);
sb.append("?sensor=false&key=" + API_KEY);
// sb.append("&components=country:in");
sb.append("&input=" + URLEncoder.encode(input, "utf8"));
// sb.append("&input=" + input);
System.out.println("URL ---------------: "+sb.toString());
URL url = new URL(sb.toString());
conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream());
// Load the results into a StringBuilder
int read;
char[] buff = new char[1024];
while ((read = in.read(buff)) != -1) {
jsonResults.append(buff, 0, read);
}
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error processing Places API URL", e);
return resultList;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
// Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Error connecting to Places API", e);
return resultList;
} finally {
if (conn != null) {
conn.disconnect();
}
}
try {
// Create a JSON object hierarchy from the results
JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonResults.toString());
JSONArray predsJsonArray = jsonObj.getJSONArray("predictions");
// Extract the Place descriptions from the results
resultList = new ArrayList<String>(predsJsonArray.length());
for (int i = 0; i < predsJsonArray.length(); i++) {
resultList.add(predsJsonArray.getJSONObject(i).getString("description"));
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e(LOG_TAG, "Cannot process JSON results", e);
}
return resultList;
}
}
oops! sorry guys. I have found the solution that was a silly mistake.I had not defined the INTERNET permission in the manifest.
