How to use locationFromAddress in flutter - flutter

Question

String _address = ""; // create this variable
void _getPlace() async {
List<Placemark> newPlace = await _geolocator.placemarkFromCoordinates(_position.latitude, _position.longitude);
// this is all you need
Placemark placeMark = newPlace[0];
String name = placeMark.name;
String subLocality = placeMark.subLocality;
String locality = placeMark.locality;
String administrativeArea = placeMark.administrativeArea;
String postalCode = placeMark.postalCode;
String country = placeMark.country;
String address = "${name}, ${subLocality}, ${locality}, ${administrativeArea} ${postalCode}, ${country}";
print(address);
setState(() {
_address = address; // update _address
});
how to replace placemarkFromCoordinates() to locationFromAddress() because convert the address from user input field then change to get the long and lat. Please help me thenks!

Answer 1

You can do both from address to coordinates and vice versa.(with older flutter version & without null safety you can use this)
1st way using geocoding
Future<void> getGeoCoderData() async {
List<Location> locations =
await locationFromAddress("Gronausestraat 710, Enschede");
debugPrint("Address to Lat long ${locations.first.latitude} : ${locations.first.longitude}");
List<Placemark> placemarks =
await placemarkFromCoordinates(52.216653, 6.9462204);
debugPrint("Lat Long to Address: ${placemarks.first.street} : ${placemarks.first.locality}");
}
Output:
2nd way using geocoder
import 'package:geocoder/geocoder.dart';
// From a query / address
final query = "1600 Amphiteatre Parkway, Mountain View";
var addresses = await Geocoder.local.findAddressesFromQuery(query);
var first = addresses.first;
print("${first.featureName} : ${first.coordinates}");
// From coordinates to address
final coordinates = new Coordinates(1.10, 45.50);
addresses = await Geocoder.local.findAddressesFromCoordinates(coordinates);
first = addresses.first;
print("${first.featureName} : ${first.addressLine}");
