Topic: Google Places Autocomplete returns last value

Hi

I'm using the AutocompleteApi from google,example from Atlas of examples.

The problem is that when i search a place, it always returns the last placa i searched, even after restarting editor in play mode.

This is the code i'm using based on the example:

public class AutocompleteAPIsearch : MonoBehaviour
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Google API Key
    /// </summary>
    public string apiKey;
    private string placestring, types, language, components;
    Vector2 lnglat;
    int offset, radius;

    public InputField inputfield;

    public GameObject placeButton, transformada;

    OnlineMapsGooglePlacesAutocompleteResult[] results;

    public void autocomplete()
    {



        placestring = inputfield.text;
        offset = -1;
        types = null;
        lnglat = default(Vector2);
        radius = -1;

        if (LeanLocalization.CurrentLanguage == "Portuguese") language = "pt";
        if (LeanLocalization.CurrentLanguage == "English") language = "en";


        components = "country:" + language;
        Debug.Log(components);

        //lnglat = new Vector2(OnlineMapsLocationService.instance.position.x, OnlineMapsLocationService.instance.position.y);

        // Makes a request to Google Places Autocomplete API. See the reference in OnlineMaps Api Reference
        OnlineMapsGooglePlacesAutocomplete.Find(
            placestring,
            apiKey,
            types,
            offset,
           lnglat,
            radius,
            language,
            components
            ).OnComplete += OnComplete;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// This method is called when a response is received.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="s">Response string</param>
    private void OnComplete(string s)
    {
        // Trying to get an array of results.
        results = OnlineMapsGooglePlacesAutocomplete.GetResults(s);

        //results = results.Distinct().ToArray();
        // If there is no result
        if (results == null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Error");
            Debug.Log(s);
            return;
        }
        else
        {

            // Log description of each result.
            // foreach (OnlineMapsGooglePlacesAutocompleteResult result in results)
            for (int i = 0; i < results.Length; i++)
            {
                Instantiate(placeButton, transformada.transform);

                placeButton.GetComponentInChildren<Text>().text = results[i].description;

                Debug.Log(results[i].description);
            }

        }
    }

I always get the last place, but the strangest thing is that in the debug console, the name of the place is correct, and doesnt show the last place name.

Re: Google Places Autocomplete returns last value

Hello.

In your code, I see how you create instances for the result of the current request.
But where do you destroy the instances of the previous request?

I have that in other script:

 public void RemoveOldSearches()
    {
        InputSearchPlaceText.text = ""; 

        foreach (Transform child in ContentTransform.transform)
        {
            Destroy(child.gameObject);
        }

    }

and a in other script in a void update:

      if (InputSearchPlaceText.text == "") //Se o utilizador apagar a string toda entao apaga todos os butoes do searchPanel
        {
            foreach (Transform child in ContentTransform.transform)  //destroi todos os clones dos butoes da search antiga
            {
                Destroy(child.gameObject);
            }
        }

What do you think is happening?

Re: Google Places Autocomplete returns last value

It needs to be tested.
If you send your scene as a package to support (support@infinity-code.com) I'll check it and say you exactly what's wrong.
Otherwise, you need to test it yourself.
Add Log into each method, and make sure everything works as planned.
