Obtain coordinates from an address flutter

Question

Could someone guide me to get the coordinates of an address in flutter?

I need to enter addresses in a text box and get the longitude and latitude of that address

Here created an Input Text Widget and when user taps on it. This takes to google autocomplete screen, where user inputs the location.

TextFormField(
                  decoration: new InputDecoration(
                      border: InputBorder.none,
                      contentPadding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 15),
                      hintText: Strings.enter_your_house_number_street_etc,
                      hintStyle: TextStyle(
                          fontSize: 14,
                          color: AppColor.grey,
                          fontFamily: "Open Sans",
                          fontWeight: FontWeight.normal
                      )),
                  maxLines: 1,
                  controller: _address,
                onTap: ()async{
                  // then get the Prediction selected
                  Prediction p = await PlacesAutocomplete.show(
                      context: context, apiKey: kGoogleApiKey,
                  onError: onError);
                  displayPrediction(p);
                },
                )

Here it is getting the lat and long of entered location.

Future<Null> displayPrediction(Prediction p) async {
    if (p != null) {
      PlacesDetailsResponse detail = await _places.getDetailsByPlaceId(p.placeId);

      var placeId = p.placeId;
       lat = detail.result.geometry.location.lat;
       long = detail.result.geometry.location.lng;

      var address  =detail.result.formattedAddress;

      print(lat);
      print(long);
      print(address);

      setState(() {
        _address.text = address;
      });
    }
  }

import 'package:flutter_google_places/flutter_google_places.dart';

what is prediction? is this is a package? – Bower

You can copy paste run full code below
You can use package https://pub.dev/packages/geocoder

code snippet

import 'package:geocoder/geocoder.dart';

// From a query
final query = "1600 Amphiteatre Parkway, Mountain View";
var addresses = await Geocoder.local.findAddressesFromQuery(query);
var first = addresses.first;
print("${first.featureName} : ${first.coordinates}");

working demo, last line is coordinates

But this is not working on newer devices like api version 30 – Munger

Is there any free service to use map address to lat-long, lat-long to address and place autocomplete provider? Kindly suggest. Thanks a lot. – Benedictbenedicta

this is not null safe – Olly

Use geocode instead as geocoder has been deprecated – Dysphoria

Answer 3

We can use the Geo Coder plugin which will use to get lat and lng from a given address.

import 'package:geocoding/geocoding.dart';

List<Location> locations = await locationFromAddress("Gronausestraat 710, Enschede");

March 2023: Geocoder is not null safe. geocoder >=0.1.0 which doesn't support null safety, version solving failed. – Dacoity

Answer 4

Use geocode dependency to fix this issue

import 'package:geocode/geocode.dart';

void main() async {
 GeoCode geoCode = GeoCode();

try {
Coordinates coordinates = await geoCode.forwardGeocoding(
    address: "532 S Olive St, Los Angeles, CA 90013");

print("Latitude: ${coordinates.latitude}");
print("Longitude: ${coordinates.longitude}");
} catch (e) {
  print(e);
  }
}
