Inflating an AutoCompleteSupportFragement in an editText onClick

Question

I am trying to inflate an AutoCompleteSupportFragment which uses Google Places API, in an onClick event of an editText.

I want to inflate that fragment when the editText is clicked, so that the user might enter a location, select from the suggestions in the auto complete fragment and the location name will be shown on the editText.

I checked this link here, but it didnt work for me.

places_auto_complete_fragment.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/place_autocomplete_fragment"
    android:name="com.google.android.libraries.places.widget.AutocompleteSupportFragment" />

how I am trying to inflate it

sourceEditText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            LayoutInflater layoutInflater = getLayoutInflater();
            layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.places_auto_complete_fragment,addTripLinearLayout,false);
        }
    });

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

AutocompleteSupportFragment presents a search box button to the user, which presents a search box UI when clicked
Inflating the layout loads the UI but you have to add it to your view in order to make it visible.

Use Intent builder instead fragment in editText....

initialise on Oncreate

   // Initialize Places.
   Places.initialize(getApplicationContext(), "***YOUR API KEY***");

   // Create a new Places client instance.
   PlacesClient placesClient = Places.createClient(this);

Then use below code on edittext on click event...

List<Place.Field> fields = Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME);
// Start the autocomplete intent.
Intent intent = new Autocomplete.IntentBuilder(AutocompleteActivityMode.FULLSCREEN, fields).build(this);
startActivityForResult(intent, AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE);

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == AUTOCOMPLETE_REQUEST_CODE) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            Place place = Autocomplete.getPlaceFromIntent(data);
            Log.i(TAG, "Place: " + place.getName() + ", " + place.getId());
        } else if (resultCode == AutocompleteActivity.RESULT_ERROR) {
            // TODO: Handle the error.
            Status status = Autocomplete.getStatusFromIntent(data);
            Log.i(TAG, status.getStatusMessage());
        } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            // The user canceled the operation.
        }
    }
}

Please refer the below link https://stackoverflow.com/a/55045772/10579969...

if you are using only fragment please refer below code

       AutocompleteSupportFragment autocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment)
                getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.autocomplete_fragment);
    autocompleteFragment.setCountry("IN");    //country type
    autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME)); 
   //to indicate the types of place data that you want to get.

For me (AutocompleteSupportFragment)getChildFragmentManager() worked. getSupportFragmentManager() won't work. — David Innocent, Feb 17 '20 at 16:37
