Flutter Geocoding Plugin #

A Flutter Geocoding plugin which provides easy geocoding and reverse-geocoding features.
Important:

This plugin uses the free Geocoding services provided by the iOS and Android platforms. This means that there are restrictions to their use. More information can be found in the Apple documentation for iOS and the Google documentation for Android.
When a PlatformException(IO_ERROR, ...) gets thrown, most of the times it means that the rate limit has been reached.
The availability of the Google Play Services depends on your country. If your country doesn't support a connection with the Google Play Services, you'll need to try a VPN to establish a connection. For more information about how to work with Google Play Services visit the following link: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/overview

Usage #
To use this plugin, please follow the installation guide on the official geocoding plugin page.

NOTE: This plugin relies on the AndroidX version of the Android Support Libraries. This means you need to make sure your Android project is also upgraded to support AndroidX. Detailed instructions can be found here.
The TL;DR version is:

Add the following to your "gradle.properties" file:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
copied to clipboard

Make sure you set the compileSdkVersion in your "android/app/build.gradle" file to 33:

android {
compileSdkVersion 33

...
}
copied to clipboard

Make sure you replace all the android. dependencies to their AndroidX counterparts (a full list can be found Android migration guide).

API #
To translate an address into latitude and longitude coordinates you can use the placemarkFromAddress method:
import 'package:geocoding/geocoding.dart';

List<Location> locations = await locationFromAddress("Gronausestraat 710, Enschede");
copied to clipboard
If you want to translate latitude and longitude coordinates into an address you can use the placemarkFromCoordinates method:
import 'package:geocoding/geocoding.dart';

List<Placemark> placemarks = await placemarkFromCoordinates(52.2165157, 6.9437819);
copied to clipboard
The setLocaleIdentifier with the localeIdentifier parameter can be used to enforce the results to be formatted (and translated) according to the specified locale. The localeIdentifier should be formatted using the syntax: [languageCode]_[countryCode]. Use the ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-2 standard for the language code and the 2 letter ISO 3166-1 standard for the country code. Some examples are:

Locale identifier

nl_NL
