LocationTextField - Vaadin Add-on Directory

LocationTextField

LocationTextField is an add-on that geocodes addresses using a configurable geocoder. Any class implementing org.vaadin.addons.locationtextfield.LocationProvider can be used to geocode addresses with LocationTextField. At a minimum an instance of LocationProvider is necessary to use this add-on. There are currently two LocationProvider implementations provided; one using Google's geocoder and the other using OpenStreetMap's Nominatim. Adding new implementations is trivial. Results for the geocoded address are available to choose from in a drop-down menu. Configuration can be done via typical setters or via the new fluent API in version 2.0.0+. Note: It is the user's responsibility to make sure he or she abides by any rules or requirements for geocoder use. For instance, Google's geocoder will not even work unless it is used in a browser with GMaps in the DOM. OpenStreetMap has a usage limit upon which they will cut you off; however, MapQuest uses the OpenStreetMap code and has no limit. MapQuest should be added next.

LocationTextField version 1.0.3
* Fixed paging or search results

LocationTextField version 1.0.5
Fix bug that caused widget not to wait for text change timeout to fire updates to server

LocationTextField version 1.0.6
* Use generics in geocoders * Google geocoder can now be used successfully (patch from Eric Bottard) * OpenStreetMapGeocoder now has a limit field that can be used to retrieve > 10 results (their default) * Null values are no longer allowed * Added method to explicitly set the location of LocationTextField * Added boolean flag to indicate if ENTER key should immediately trigger text change event * Enhanced sample app

LocationTextField version 1.0.7
* Fixed some repainting issues * Properly handle setting value to null (clear text field and container) * Add convenience method for clearing text field and container

LocationTextField version 1.0.8
* Fixed repaint problem where a text change would occasionally set the old text in the text field instead of the newly entered text * Added dependency on SLF4J

LocationTextField version 1.1.0
* Rewrite of current text handling and client notification code * Fixed bug that would revert change when pressing TAB key inside the text field

LocationTextField version 1.1.1
Fixed bug whereby any whitespace in the text sent from the client was trimmed

LocationTextField version 1.1.2
Added better handling of state on ENTER and TAB

LocationTextField version 1.2.0
Add 3 new features: * Ability to set minimum length of ext from client to initiate geocoding * Add ability to override above feature by pressing ENTER key * Add ability to limit results by setting limit on the underlying LocationProvider

LocationTextField version 1.2.1
Fixed bug whereby clicking text field then pressing enter key twice cleared field

LocationTextField version 1.2.2
Moved to Maven build. No code changes.

LocationTextField version 1.2.3
* Fixed a display bug * Added ability to set an input prompt * Added ability to turn debug (Firebug) logging on/off

LocationTextField version 1.2.4
* Fixed bug where input prompt did not disappear on click

LocationTextField version 1.2.6
* Fix bug whereby if a minimum text length was configured anything smaler than that value sent to the server after a text change timeout was causing the textbox on the client to revert to its previous value * Fix problem where enter key was not selecting highlighted option if only one option is present

LocationTextField version 2.0.0
* Vaadin 7 version is finally here! * New fluent API * Complete design change to use the newer GWT `SuggestBox` instead of a `ComboBox` ** This change was inspired by the excellent AutocompleteField for Vaadin add-on * New design alters behavior of previous Vaadin 6 version as there is no direct binding to a property with a type of `GeocodedLocation`; the field's value is always a String. Alternatively, you may provide a `Property` to the fluent API for use or you may add a `ValueChangeListener` using the method `addLocationValueChangeListener(ValueChangeListener)`.
