get Lat Lang from a place_id returned by autocomplete place api

Question

I am searching the place in my apps using the google autocomplete place api and now I want to get latitude and longitude of the place that i have searched. How to get latitude and longitude from the result returned by autocomplete place api by google in android?

Use Geocoder. Refer: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html — shyam, Sep 19 '14 at 08:06
Current API doesn't allow to do it with one request as it's possible with Web API. Please upvote https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35828699 to request coordinates exposed in the predictions response. — AlexKorovyansky, Feb 01 '18 at 07:32

The following code snippet which uses Google Places API for android worked for me

Places.GeoDataApi.getPlaceById(mGoogleApiClient, placeId)
    .setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<PlaceBuffer>() {
  @Override
  public void onResult(PlaceBuffer places) {
    if (places.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
      final Place myPlace = places.get(0);
      LatLng queriedLocation = myPlace.getLatLng();
      Log.v("Latitude is", "" + queriedLocation.latitude);
      Log.v("Longitude is", "" + queriedLocation.longitude);
    }
    places.release();
  }
});

Visit Google Places API for Android for a full list of methods to retrieve data from a place

what exactly is the placeId? the address that user entered in the autocomplete textview? – Choy Feb 23 '19 at 09:51

@Choy [place id](https://developers.google.com/places/place-id), a hash string – lasec0203 Apr 17 '20 at 05:07

Google Place Details is the answer.

From the place_id you got, query Place Details something like https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid={placeid}&key={key} and you can get the lat and lng from result.geometry.location JSON.

do provide Place.Field.LAT_LNG to get the latitude and longitude for the place.

 autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, 
 Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.LAT_LNG));

then get LatLng

LatLng destinationLatLng = place.getLatLng();

and can see through toast

 destlat = destinationLatLng.latitude;
 destLon = destinationLatLng.longitude;
 Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "" + destlat + ',' + destLon, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Is this possible in Kotlin? – MilkBottle Apr 02 '20 at 13:30

this is how you can do it in Kotlin. val fields = ArrayList() fields.add(Place.Field.NAME) fields.add(Place.Field.ADDRESS) fields.add(Place.Field.LAT_LNG) startActivityForResult(Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(AutocompleteActivityMode.OVERLAY, fields).build(mContext), AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE); – Sadda Hussain Aug 07 '20 at 05:43

Each place returned in the place-autocomplete response has an Id and a reference string as explained here.

Use either (preferably Id since reference is deprecated) to query Places API for the full information about that place (including lat/lng): https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details#PlaceDetailsRequests

Regarding shyam's comment - Geocoding will work only if you got a full address in the autocomplete response which is not always the case. Also Geocoding gives a list of possible results since the place description you get in the autocomplete response is not unique. Depending on your needs, geocoding might be enough.

Based on the latest version of AutoComplete documentation

Option 1: Embed an AutocompleteSupportFragment

AutocompleteSupportFragment autocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment)
            getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.autocomplete_fragment);

 autocompleteFragment
    .setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, 
    Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.LAT_LNG,Place.Field.ADDRESS));

Option 2: Use an intent to launch the autocomplete activity

List<Place.Field> fields = Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME,Place.Field.LAT_LNG,Place.Field.ADDRESS);

// Start the autocomplete intent.
Intent intent = new Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(
        AutocompleteActivityMode.FULLSCREEN, fields)
        .build(this);
startActivityForResult(intent, AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE);

whichever fields you are interested in, you have to mention as mentioned above.

You'll get result as below:

 onPlaceSelected: 

{

"a":"#90, 1st Floor, Balaji Complex, Kuvempu Main Road, Kempapura, Hebbal 
    Kempapura, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560024, India",
"b":[],
"c":"ChIJzxEsY4QXrjsRQiF5LWRnVoc",
"d":{"latitude":13.0498176,"longitude":77.600347},
    "e":"CRAWLINK Networks Pvt. Ltd."
}

Note: The result displayed is by parsing the Place object to json

This is the exact answer. Thanks – Naveed Ahmad Sep 21 '20 at 04:29 — Naveed Ahmad, Sep 21 '20 at 04:29

add these line under function

 autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {});
 var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
 autocomplete.setFields(['place_id', 'geometry', 'name', 'formatted_address']);
 var lng = place.geometry.location.lng();
 var lat = place.geometry.location.lat();
 var latlng = {lat , lng};
 console.log(latlng);

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

   if (requestCode == Constant.REQUEST_LOCATION_CODE) {

        Place place = PlaceAutocomplete.getPlace(this, data);

        if (place != null) {
            LatLng latLng = place.getLatLng();
            mStringLatitude = String.valueOf(latLng.latitude);
            mStringLongitude = String.valueOf(latLng.longitude);
            EditTextAddress.setText(place.getAddress());
        }
    }
}

With the code above, you can get the LatLng as well as the String address. Use the LatLng wherever you want.

Geocoding is a very indirect solution, and like the second responder said, if you do "Apple Store" it may not return the full address. Instead:

Place_ID contains everything you need. I am assuming you know how to get the place_id from the Places API (they have a full example if not).

Then pull a second request for the place details (including latitude and longitude under the geometry section) using the place_id following this documentation: https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details?utm_source=welovemapsdevelopers&utm_campaign=mdr-devdocs

This was very useful to get a place's full data. – dianakarenms Nov 03 '17 at 22:30 — dianakarenms, Nov 03 '17 at 22:30

Ref :- https://developers.google.com/places/android/place-details#get-place The above link gives a place object which will have lat and long . The place object is deirved from placeid that one gets from place autocomplete.

I got very simple solution to this problem thanks answer by Muhammad Yasir.

    List<Place.Field> placeFields = Arrays.asList(Place.Field.LAT_LNG, Place.Field.ADDRESS_COMPONENTS);
    autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(placeFields);

    autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
            LatLng latLng = place.getLatLng(); // This will have required latitude and longitude
         }
   }

You can specify any field you want as in the list like name, address etc.

Note: This answer is for android java but I think there will be similar approach in other languages like javascript.

      if (places.getStatus().isSuccess() && places.getCount() > 0) {

      } else {
        Log.e(TAG, "Place not found");
      }
      places.release();

  });

Use this method for getting lat and lang from placeid.

get Lat Lang from a place_id returned by autocomplete place api
