Configuring a Provider

A provider is a wrapper around a Woosmap API or a Google API which will be called to return the result for a query or get details of a place. Each provider must be created from a provider configuration and this provider must then be passed to MultiSearch object by calling MultiSearch.addProvider method. Use ProviderConfig.Builder class in order to create a provider configuration.

java

        ProviderConfig.Builder builder;
builder = new ProviderConfig.Builder(SearchProviderType.ADDRESS)
        .key(getString(R.string.woosmap_private_key))

    

Required Parameters

• type: Type of the provider. Passed as SearchProviderType enum.
• key: Your project’s private key. This key identifies your Woosmap Project for purposes of quota management.

Optional Parameters

• fallbackBreakpoint: A number between 0 and 1 corresponding to the threshold of fallback.
• minInputLength: minimum input length before executing autocomplete provider.
• param (type ConfigParam): to bias the API and search for specific regions or languages. Check each provider to see available parameters.

Woosmap Address Provider

To create a configuration for Woosmap Address provider use the search type parameter SearchProviderType.ADDRESS:

java

        builder = new ProviderConfig.Builder(SearchProviderType.ADDRESS)
        .key(getString(R.string.woosmap_private_key))

    

Available Provider parameters

• components: to filter over countries.
• language: in which language the results should be returned. Searches are also biased to the selected language.
• fields: to limit content of responses to the geometry part.

Example Woosmap Address Provider

java

        builder = new ProviderConfig.Builder(SearchProviderType.ADDRESS)
        .key(getString(R.string.woosmap_private_key))
        .fallbackBreakPoint(0.8f)
        .minInputLength(1)
        .component(new Component(new String[]{"FR"},"fr"));
multiSearch.addProvider(builder.build());//Add Address provider

    

Woosmap Localities Provider

To create a configuration for Woosmap Localities provider use the search type parameter SearchProviderType.LOCALITIES:

java

        builder = new ProviderConfig.Builder(SearchProviderType.LOCALITIES)
        .key(getString(R.string.woosmap_private_key))

    

Available Provider parameters

• types: the types of suggestion to return. Multiple types can be passed.
• components: to filter over countries.
• language: in which language the results should be returned. Searches are also biased to the selected language.
• data: choose between DataFormat.standard or DataFormat.extended.

        .component(new Component(new String[]{"FR"}))
        .searchType("locality")

        .searchType("postal_code");
multiSearch.addProvider(builder.build());//Add locality provider

java

        builder = new ProviderConfig.Builder(SearchProviderType.STORE)
        .key(getString(R.string.woosmap_private_key))

    

Available Provider parameters

• query: a search query combining one or more search clauses.

Example Woosmap Store Provider

java

        builder = new ProviderConfig.Builder(SearchProviderType.STORE)
        .key(getString(R.string.woosmap_private_key))
        .ignoreFallbackBreakPoint(true);
