How to get Lat Long on Map Tap in Flutter? - google-maps

Question

Can someone tell me how get latitude and longitude on map tap in flutter. Do I need to use any plugin?

Answer 1

I think what you mean is that you want a latitude/longitude to be displayed when you tap on some location on a Google Maps widget? In that case, check out the place_picker plugin. From the readme, it sounds like what you need. Link: https://pub.dev/packages/place_picker
Edit:
If you just want the latitude/longitude of any arbitrary location on the map, you can also do the following in your Google Map constructor itself:
GoogleMap(
// all the other arguments
onTap: (latLng) {
print('${latLng.latitude}, ${latLng.longitude}');
}
);

If you need a Lat and lang as well other property you have to use place_picker package. This package help you to get data from users selected location. Try This Code
Widget _dropDownButton() {
return Positioned(
top: 40,
right: 15,
left: 15,
child: Container(
height: 50,
child: TextFormField(
readOnly: true,
enableInteractiveSelection: false,
// will disable paste operation
textInputAction: TextInputAction.next,
onChanged: (location) {
setState(() {
currentAddress = location;
});
},
controller: locationController,
decoration: InputDecoration(
prefixIcon: InkWell(
onTap: () {
Navigator.push(
context,
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) {
return PlacePicker(
apiKey: kGoogleApiKey,
initialPosition: currentPostion,
useCurrentLocation: true,
selectInitialPosition: true,
usePlaceDetailSearch: true,
onPlacePicked: (result) {
setState(() {
selectedPlace = result;
locationController.text =
selectedPlace.formattedAddress;
controllers.animateCamera(
CameraUpdate.newCameraPosition(
CameraPosition(
target: LatLng(
result.geometry.location.lat,
result.geometry.location.lng),
zoom: 20.0),
),
);
Navigator.of(context).pop();
});
},
);
},
),
);
},
child: Icon(
Icons.add_location,
color: Colors.black,
size: 20,
),
),
hintStyle: TextStyle(
color: Colors.black54,
),
hintText: 'Please choose a Address',
),
),
));
}
