Known Issues

Android

Geocoder not working

Errors like Geocoder:getFromLocationName Error: grpc failed, Geocoder is not present on this device/emulator., Geocoder [...] Error or Geocoder Service not available.

Why?: The plugin checks for Geocoder.isPresent() (Android docs). One reason for Geocoder not working on a device could be that you are running your app on an emulator or on a device without Google Play Services. But Geocoder API "[...] requires a backend service that is not included in the core android framework".

Any workaround?: Yes, install Google Play services. Open SDK Tools > Tab SDK Tools > install Google Play services.

cordova-plugin-nativegeocoder's Issues

Error when finding position

During my approval of an App for the AppStore I hit a bug, that puzzles me a lot.

The Apple headquarter is located at: Apple Infinite Loop, 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, Californien, USA

On Android I get the location 37.3316756, -122.030189 but on iPhone I get the error message: "Cannot get a location"

If I search for: "Apple, Infinite Loop, Cupertino, Californien, USA" or "Apple, 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, Californien, USA" it works fine on both platforms.

I am using Google Places to find the address, when the user enters the address.

Using maps.google.com the address results in this:

What is meant by Android (works only on native devices)

May you please explain what Android (works only on native devices) mean? Specifically native devices?

Plugin overwrites plist entry for NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription

Since a hardcoded string is set in the plugin.xml file for NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription, the value that comes from other plugins that use variables instead is overwritten with the string "Using geocoder service" which cannot be changed.

The right way to implement this would be something like:

       <preference name="GEOLOCATION_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" default=" " />
        <config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription">
            <string>$GEOLOCATION_USAGE_DESCRIPTION</string>
        </config-file>

Native Geocoder . can't able to find “thoroughfare”,“subThoroughfare”

IOS13 -> Don´t show Streetname

Hello
i have download the new iOS 13 to build the a new Version from the App. And i see that the thoroughfare not shown anymore.

Can you check this?

Thx

Wheres the State ?

hit limit

I just wanted to know, is there any hits limit? Like if we use google api to get location details, we used to have some hits limit if the account is not paid. After exceeding the hits quota we cant call the goole api to get address.

forward geocoding returns different lat long based on devices.

Hi , i was working in geocoding and getting lat long for an address or zipcode which is being entered by the user, when i was testing with 10004 zipcode, which is near newyork, we are getting different lat long for different devices example : samsung galaxy s7 returns lat : 40.705478 long : -74.015044 where as in lenovo k4 note returns lat : 48.586179 long : 4.107207 . I don't know why it is returning different lat long for same zipcode . Can you please help me on this.

Cordova 8 and add-swift-support

Hello,
It is not possible to install the plugin if you use cordova 8 (on a Mac at least). This is because of the

<dependency id="cordova-plugin-add-swift-support" version="1.7.0"/>

in the file plugin.xml, row 45. The add-swift-support plugin has a bug in version 1.7.0 which is resolved in 1.7.1. Is it possible to change the dependency?

The changes can be checked here: https://github.com/akofman/cordova-plugin-add-swift-support/releases/tag/1.7.1

I'm trying to import NativeGeocoder in the app.module of my project. But I get this error

I would really appreciated, if you guys could help me.

how to know the accurate of the coordinates?

bug(android): Geocoding is blocking the main thread

Describe the bug
While running an reverse/forward geocoding the main thread is blocked by up to 4 seconds

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open LogCat from AndroidStudio
2. Run e.g.: reverseGeocode on a low internet connection.
3. App hangs on transitions or user interaction while reverseGeocode is running
4. See Log message like this:

THREAD WARNING: exec() call to NativeGeocoder.reverseGeocode blocked the main thread for 3639ms. Plugin should use CordovaInterface.getThreadPool()

Expected behavior
The reverse/forward geocoding should run in a background thread without blocking the ui.

Plugin Version
v3.2.2

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Pixel 2
• OS: Android 9

Additional context
There are some suggestion how to resolve this issue:

• Using an IntentService described in https://developer.android.com/training/location/display-address#java
• Using an the Cordova ThreadPool see e.g.: here or here

Ionic Native Geocoder “Cannot find a location.”

While searching for coordinates, i.e. forwardGeocoding, the plugin is returning "Cannot find a location."

This is the method in my provider -
//This calls the Native geocoder and returns the geocoordinates. getGeoCode(address: string): Promise<any> { console.log('The address key is - ' + address); return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { this.nativeGeocoder.forwardGeocode(address) .then((nativegeocoordinates: NativeGeocoderForwardResult) => { console.log('The coordinates are - ' + JSON.stringify(nativegeocoordinates)); let addressCoordinates: DeliveryAddressCoordinates = nativegeocoordinates; resolve(addressCoordinates); }) .catch((error: any) => { console.log(JSON.stringify(error)); reject(error); }); }) }

The method accepts an address string as input. So I get the address from google places API, and pass the description here.

Now, for certain addresses, it just doesn't seem to find the coordinates, and returns a "Cannot find a location" message. For e.g. "Bhadra Brookefields Apartment B Block, Kundanahalli Lake Road, Kundalahalli, Brookefield, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India" is a valid address and returns the coordinates, while "Times Square 42 Street Station, New York, NY, USA" does not find a match and returns a message saying - "Cannot find a location".

The "Cannot find a location" seems to be originating from the code here on line #182, where it is referencing the Android class.

Is this a known issue? Or is there something that I am doing wrong?

Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: NativeGeocoderProvider

Hello, i install this package, when i am going to use it, it gives me "Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: NativeGeocoderProvider " error.

Below is my code .
function Search1Controller($log, header, DialogService, $auth, $localStorage, $state, $rootScope, $scope, API, mapbox, geo, $document, $interval, $timeout, broadcast, toast, $cordovaGeolocation, NativeGeocoder) {

and..
.reverseGeocode(success, failure, 52.5072095, 13.1452818);

    function success(result) {
        alert("The address is: \n\n" + JSON.stringify(result));
    }

    function failure(err) {
        alert(JSON.stringify(err));
    } 

Getting wrong lat long

I am developing a hybrid mobile app in ionic2. I want to get lat-long base on the address.
Following is my code:

this.nativeGeocoder.forwardGeocode('20 Greenway Rockville Centre NY 11570') .then((coordinates: NativeGeocoderForwardResult) => console.log('The coordinates are latitude=' + coordinates.latitude + ' and longitude=' + coordinates.longitude)) .catch((error: any) => console.log(error));

On ios, i am getting latitude = 40.661109 and longitude=-73.626429 which is wrong. The correct lat-long is latitude = 40.660858 and longitude=73.626354.

What could be the issue?

iOS build error

Hey, I'am trying to build to iOS but Im getting these errors.

Can I get the address value only in English?

I have noticed that the address return value is in the language of phone setting.
Is there any way I can set the language option only in English no matter what the phone setting is?

Return Address Line or formatted address

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A simple but kind of required feature is to return, along with current Address class values, the value of addressLine which in web API is similar to formatted_address, as creating the address string is sometimes both overhead and improper.

Describe the solution you'd like
Just start returning the addressLine in the current response.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We now have to construct own address which is not as good and helpful for users. The "unnamed road" and other such keywords irritates users.

reverseGeocode's NativeGeocoderReverseResult is incomplete

The response to the reverseGeocode function is incomplete and does not return the fields thoroughfare and subThoroughfare

This is my code:
this.nativeGeocoder.reverseGeocode(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude, { useLocale: true, maxResults: 1 }) .then((result: NativeGeocoderReverseResult[]) => { console.log(JSON.stringify(result)); }) .catch((error: any) => console.log(error));

the previous code only returns:
[{"countryCode":"ES","countryName":"España","postalCode":"08013","locality":"Barcelona","subLocality":"Barcelona"}]

License is missing

Could you please add a license file to this repo? Currently it's unclear what are the terms and conditions of using NativeGeocoder plugin code.

Many thanks in advance!

Hangs on build

I've been building an Ionic/Cordova app with a lot of success but now that I've added this plugin everytime I run "Cordova run ios" it now takes 5 minutes instead of 15 seconds to build the app.

It seems to hang at the line "NativeGeocoder.o".

What is it doing that whole time? Feels like it's downloading something heavy... How do I resolve this as it's now becoming a massive time constraint while working on other features. Plus to make matters worse the device times out and locks so half the time I have to re-run the 5 minute build simply based on a permission issue.

Sorry for such a "petty" issue but I've googled to no avail. No other package has caused this issue.

I'm trying to import NativeGeocoder in the app.module of my project. But I get this error

return multiple locations?

Is it possible to return the list of locations instead of just one?
e.g. I reckon typing in something ambiguous like 'depot' would yield many possible results? since Android geocoder api states that they return a list.

thanks!

Forward geocoding to return location name and type

The forward geocoding function returns an array of latitude, longitude values. This is not enough for my application, because the user reasonably needs the names of the locations returned to choose from. The formatted_address value of the geocoding service is good to have because the user may not type in a full address (ex. 'Philadelph', so the app cannot rely on the user input later on to identify/label this location. The type of the location returned is also interesting and would be nice to have it.

In the google geocoding service, the values requested here are:
types[]: string,
formatted_address: string,

Cordova 9 support: Update cordova-plugin-add-swift-support to 2.0.2

Describe the bug
The cordova-plugin-add-swift-support 1.7.2 does not support cordova 9. Instaling your plugin in a cordova 9 project theirfore result in this error:
Using "requireCordovaModule" to load non-cordova module "glob" is not supported. Instead, add this module to your dependencies and use regular "require" to load it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a cordova 9 project
2. add your plugin
3. See error
   Using "requireCordovaModule" to load non-cordova module "glob" is not supported. Instead, add this module to your dependencies and use regular "require" to load it.

Expected behavior
Should work also for cordova 9

I tried to add nativegeocoder in my Ionic App and executed the reverseGeocode function. In the browser, it showed that cordova is not available. Then I run my app in android device, it showed that Geocoder is not present on this device/emulator. How can I fix this problem?

different places same coordenates

As the title suggests, I get the same coords for different locations, they are in the same city but far enough.

this.nativeGeocoder.reverseGeocode return error -- > "CLGeocoder:reverseGeocodeLocation Error" on ios12 platform

Hi guys!
I get an error when trying to geocoding the coordinates on iOS1. Before updating the OS, everything was ok. Android also works without problems. Perhaps you can tell the reason?

this.nativeGeocoder.reverseGeocode(coordinates.lat, coordinates.long, options) .then((result: NativeGeocoderReverseResult[]) => { console.log(result[0]); }) .catch((error: any) => { console.log('reverseGeocodeErr', error); });

Cordova geocoder stops working

I started using cordova geocoder in my project. In my first attempts to use it, it wasn't working, falling into the catch exception. And in a day, out of nothing, it started to work, returning me the adress. And, now, a few days later, it stopped working again. Is there any problem with its service? Because I'm sure I haven't changed my code so it stop working.

function success(result) {
alert("The address is: \n\n" + JSON.stringify(result));
}

alert(JSON.stringify(err));
}

Plugin needs to be updated to Swift 3

XCode 8 can no longer compile apps that use an older version of Swift. The automatic converting feature of XCode seem to work fine, the build did not throw any errors afterwards. But I haven't tested the plugin yet.

reverseGeocode Error: grpc failed

I am getting "Geocoder:getFromLocationName Error: grpc failed" while using reverseGeocode.

It works after i switch on flight mode and wait for 10 seconds before switching it off again.

Any idea? Is there any fix or workaround for this?

TypeError: Object(...) is not a function

I'm getting an TypeError: Object(...) is not a function error when trying to use Native Geocoder.

Code is below:

import { NativeGeocoder, NativeGeocoderOptions, NativeGeocoderReverseResult, NativeGeocoderForwardResult } from '@ionic-native/native-geocoder'; constructor(private Platform: Platform, public loadingCtrl: LoadingController, private router: Router, public natGeo: NativeGeocoder) {}
... let options: NativeGeocoderOptions = { useLocale: true, maxResults: 5 };

this.natGeo.forwardGeocode('Berlin', options) .then((coordinates: NativeGeocoderForwardResult[]) => console.log('The coordinates are latitude=' + coordinates[0].latitude + ' and longitude=' + coordinates[0].longitude)) .catch((error: any) => console.log(error)); ...

How can I get this to work please?

Let the user select locale

Hi
I really loved this plugin. Thanks for great job.
It would be very helpful if you let the use select locale. I mean in addition to useLocale add an option parameter which is a string and accepts locales like "en-US" or "fa-IR", ...
Thanks
