GMSAutocompleteViewControllerDelegate

@protocol GMSAutocompleteViewControllerDelegate <NSObject>

Protocol used by GMSAutocompleteViewController, to communicate the user’s interaction with the controller to the application.

• -viewController:didAutocompleteWithPlace:

  Called when a place has been selected from the available autocomplete predictions.

  Implementations of this method should dismiss the view controller as the view controller will not dismiss itself.

  Declaration

  Swift

  func viewController(_ viewController: GMSAutocompleteViewController, didAutocompleteWith place: GMSPlace)

  Objective-C

  - (void)viewController:(nonnull GMSAutocompleteViewController *)viewController
      didAutocompleteWithPlace:(nonnull GMSPlace *)place;

  Parameters

  viewController	The GMSAutocompleteViewController that generated the event.
  place	The GMSPlace that was returned.

• -viewController:didFailAutocompleteWithError:

  Called when a non-retryable error occurred when retrieving autocomplete predictions or place details. A non-retryable error is defined as one that is unlikely to be fixed by immediately retrying the operation.

  Only the following values of GMSPlacesErrorCode are retryable:

  • kGMSPlacesNetworkError
  • kGMSPlacesServerError
  • kGMSPlacesInternalError

  All other error codes are non-retryable.

  Declaration

  Swift

  func viewController(_ viewController: GMSAutocompleteViewController, didFailAutocompleteWithError error: any Error)

  Objective-C

  - (void)viewController:(nonnull GMSAutocompleteViewController *)viewController
      didFailAutocompleteWithError:(nonnull NSError *)error;

  Parameters

  viewController	The GMSAutocompleteViewController that generated the event.
  error	The NSError that was returned.

• -wasCancelled:

  Deprecated

  Use Places Swift SDK’s (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/ios-sdk/google-places-swift) placeAutocomplete API instead.

  Called when the user taps the Cancel button in a GMSAutocompleteViewController.

  Implementations of this method should dismiss the view controller as the view controller will not dismiss itself.

  Declaration

  Swift

  func wasCancelled(_ viewController: GMSAutocompleteViewController)

  Objective-C

  - (void)wasCancelled:(nonnull GMSAutocompleteViewController *)viewController;

  Parameters

  viewController

  The GMSAutocompleteViewController that generated the event.

• -viewController:didSelectPrediction:

  Called when the user selects an autocomplete prediction from the list but before requesting place details.

  Returning NO from this method will suppress the place details fetch and didAutocompleteWithPlace will not be called.

  Declaration

  Swift

  optional func viewController(_ viewController: GMSAutocompleteViewController, didSelect prediction: GMSAutocompletePrediction) -> Bool

  Objective-C

  - (BOOL)viewController:(nonnull GMSAutocompleteViewController *)viewController
      didSelectPrediction:(nonnull GMSAutocompletePrediction *)prediction;

  Parameters

  viewController	The GMSAutocompleteViewController that generated the event.
  prediction	The GMSAutocompletePrediction that was selected.

• -didUpdateAutocompletePredictions:

  Called once every time new autocomplete predictions are received.

  Declaration

  Swift

  optional func didUpdateAutocompletePredictions(_ viewController: GMSAutocompleteViewController)

  Objective-C

  - (void)didUpdateAutocompletePredictions:
      (nonnull GMSAutocompleteViewController *)viewController;

  Parameters

  Declaration

  Swift

  optional func didRequestAutocompletePredictions(_ viewController: GMSAutocompleteViewController)

  Objective-C

  - (void)didRequestAutocompletePredictions:
      (nonnull GMSAutocompleteViewController *)viewController;

  Parameters
