Overview
GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource provides an interface for providing place autocomplete predictions to populate a UITableView by implementing the UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate protocols.
GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource is designed to be used as the data source for a UISearchDisplayController.
- Note:
- UISearchDisplayController has been deprecated since iOS 8. It is now recommended to use UISearchController with
GMSAutocompleteResultsViewControllerto display autocomplete results using the iOS search UI.
Set an instance of GMSAutocompleteTableDataSource as the searchResultsDataSource and searchResultsDelegate properties of UISearchDisplayController. In your implementation of shouldReloadTableForSearchString, call sourceTextHasChanged with the current search string.
Use the GMSAutocompleteTableDataSourceDelegate delegate protocol to be notified when a place is selected from the list. Because autocomplete predictions load asynchronously, it is necessary to implement didUpdateAutocompletePredictions and call reloadData on the UISearchDisplayController's table view.

Member Function Documentation
| - (instancetype) init |
Designated initializer.
| - (void) sourceTextHasChanged: | (nullable NSString *) | text |
Notify the data source that the source text to autocomplete has changed.
This method should only be called from the main thread. Calling this method from another thread will result in undefined behavior. Calls to GMSAutocompleteTableDataSourceDelegate methods will also be called on the main thread.
This method is non-blocking.
- Parameters:
-
text The partial text to autocomplete.
| - (void) clearResults |
Clear all predictions.
- Note:
- This will call the two delegate methods below:
didUpdateAutocompletePredictionsForResultsController:didRequestAutocompletePredictionsForResultsController:
The implementation of this method is guaranteed to call these synchronously and in-order.
