PlacePicker.getPlace() is deprecated

Question

I'm trying to develop an application based on google place API. When I try to use

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

there is an error showing getPlace() is deprecated. Please suggest a solution. Thanks in advance!

Google is tracking the interest in having a Place Picker widget here: (Android) issuetracker.google.com/128304810, (iOS) issuetracker.google.com/128304760. Please fill the linked form with your use case and needs if you are interested. – Astylar

Answer 1

The documentation states

This method is deprecated.
Use getPlace(Context, Intent) instead.

You should find this information in Android Studio as well.

Unkennel

For those who didn't realise (like me), the Context and the Intent have been switched, so if you have a deprecation warning, switch the variables over. – Attire

why didn't they just change the implementation of the original function with the same parameters order in later releases ?! – Morlee

@Unkennel how to "find this information in Android Studio", when I click 'more' on the hint, it just say the current is deprecated, that's it, no solution. – Jeweller

@Unkennel the javadoc on android studio says nothing dropbox.com/s/ski1w4myqxfsbd5/… I am using java, or it is just available in Kotlin. I wonder because every time facing a deprecated method, I have to search on the doc from the internet. I would be great if I can found directly in AS. Thanks – Jeweller

@Jeweller it looks like you don't have the JavaDoc available. It's not related to Kotlin or Java. Maybe Google doesn't provide the docs. Maybe you're using a different repository. But since you have a clear question which is unrelated to this one here, you should consider asking it separately. You'll find more input like this. – Unkennel

@Unkennel if possible, please capture your screenshot, otherwise that's fine. Thanks anyway. I will post question then. :) – Jeweller
