Google Maps Autocomplete in smartfield [message #1826879]

Hi,

Is it possible to create lookupcall and smartfield with option to select address form Google Maps Geocoding to select address.

For example:

When typing address I get addresses from google, and when I select one address I can get response with all data from that address

Thanks

Yes, principally that's possible. In Scout Classic, you have to create a custom lookup service. Especially the methods ILookupService#getDataByText (called while typing text in the smart field) and ILookupService#getDataByKey (called when a lookup row is selected) are of interest. If you want to allow free text as well, i.e. values that are not returned by the service, use AbstractProposalField instead of AbstractSmartField( note that this requires String keys).

To call external APIs, you can use any method you like (google it). For REST, Scout provides the module org.eclipse.scout.rt.rest and implementations for Jersey and Jackson, but other libraries will work as well.

Regards,
Beat
