Places | Place Search KTX

Description

This repository contains Kotlin extensions (KTX) for: 1. The Places SDK for Android

It enables you to use Place Search API.

In order to use the library, include the following dependency:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.github.urmichm:
places-placesearch-ktx:RELEASE_TAG'
 }

If you have not included the jitpack repository in your project, add the following to your root build.gradle

allprojects {
  repositories {
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
  }
}

The result of the API call can be converted into a set of Place objects.

Such conversion accelerates the usage of Place Search and integrates the package into Place Details SDK

A demo application is contained within this repository that illustrates the use of this KTX library.

To run the demo app, you’ll have to:

Get a Places API key
Update the local.properties file in your root directory called (Note: this file should NOT be under version control to protect your API key) and add a single line to local.properties that looks like PLACES_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY", where YOUR_API_KEY is the API key you obtained in the first step. You can also take a look at the local.defaults.properties as an example.
Build and run
