I am trying to generate a Formatted Full address using CLGeocoder in Swift 3. I referred to this SO thread to get the code given below.
However, sometimes the app crashes with a 'nil' error at the line:
//Address dictionary
print(placeMark.addressDictionary ?? "")
Questions:
- How can I concatenate these values retrieved from the GeoCoder to form a full address? (Street + City + etc)
- How do I handle the nil error I get when the func is unable to find an address?
Full code:
func getAddress() -> String {
var address: String = ""
let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()
let location = CLLocation(latitude: selectedLat, longitude: selectedLon)
//selectedLat and selectedLon are double values set by the app in a previous process
geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler: { (placemarks, error) -> Void in
// Place details
var placeMark: CLPlacemark!
placeMark = placemarks?[0]
// Address dictionary
//print(placeMark.addressDictionary ?? "")
// Location name
if let locationName = placeMark.addressDictionary!["Name"] as? NSString {
//print(locationName)
}
// Street address
if let street = placeMark.addressDictionary!["Thoroughfare"] as? NSString {
//print(street)
}
// City
if let city = placeMark.addressDictionary!["City"] as? NSString {
//print(city)
}
// Zip code
if let zip = placeMark.addressDictionary!["ZIP"] as? NSString {
//print(zip)
}
// Country
if let country = placeMark.addressDictionary!["Country"] as? NSString {
//print(country)
}
})
return address;
}
