How to implement Google's PlaceAutoCompleteFragment into a class that extends Fragment

Question

I'm trying to use Google's Place Autocomplete (https://developers.google.com/places/android-api/autocomplete) to implement into a fragment in my app. But I got this error when navigating from this fragment to other fragment and then coming back into this fragment

 Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Binary XML file line #30: Duplicate id 0x7f0f010f, tag null, or parent id 0x7f0f00c0 with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.PlaceAutocompleteFragment at android.app.FragmentManagerImpl.onCreateView(FragmentManager.java:2148)

This is the java code

private PlaceAutocompleteFragment mSearchPAF; @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.some_layout, container, false); mSearchLocationPAF = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) parentActivity.getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete_fragment); }

This is the XML file

<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/someRelativeLayout" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="36dp" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:layout_marginRight="10dp" android:layout_marginTop="30dp" android:background="@drawable/some_drawable"> <fragment android:id="@+id/place_autocomplete_fragment" android:name="com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.PlaceAutocompleteFragment" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </RelativeLayout>

I also have another map fragment in this same java and xml file but I managed to solve it by following the answers in this post (Duplicate ID, tag null, or parent id with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment) but I can't find any solution for this Place Autocomplete fragment

May b this is causing coz you are using same id in two different PlaceAutoComplete fragment. — tahsinRupam

@Sandeepdhiman if you mean this (android:id="@+id/place_autocomplete_fragment") then no — the newbie coder

I have solved this problem myself by following one of the answers here Duplicate ID, tag null, or parent id with another fragment for com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment

private PlaceAutocompleteFragment mSearchPAF; @Override public void onDestroyView() { super.onDestroyView(); PlaceAutocompleteFragment f = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) getFragmentManager() .findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete_fragment); if (f != null) getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(f).commit(); }

I am currently working on my Project and implemented my main activity with multiple fragments(Still a novice in Android Studio). In my Navigation fragment, I used an googleAutocomplete provided by Google.

This code here is implemented inside the OnCreateView().

mPlace_Starting = (PlaceAutocompleteFragment) this.getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_starting); AutocompleteFilter countryFilter = new AutocompleteFilter.Builder() .setTypeFilter(Place.TYPE_COUNTRY) .setCountry("PH") .build(); mPlace_Starting.setFilter(countryFilter); mPlace_Starting.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() { @Override public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) { // TODO: Get info about the selected place: Log.i(TAG, "Starting Place:" + place.getName()); Toast.makeText(getActivity(), "Starting Place: " + place.getName(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); double mLongitude = place.getLatLng().longitude; double mLatitude = place.getLatLng().latitude; mStartingpoint = new Waypoint(mLongitude,mLatitude); mStartpoint = new GeoCoordinate(mLongitude,mLatitude); } @Override public void onError(Status status) { //TODO: Handle the Error. Log.i(TAG, "An error occured: " + status); } });

I inflated my PlaceAutocompleteFragment widget from Google by using getChildFragmentManager() since the widget is a fragment to be inflated inside another fragment(my Navigation Fragment).
