I was trying to implement a simple search bar in google maps that points the map's camera to the location that is entered in the search box, I've attached the code but whenever I run it, The application ends up crashing. The code is given below. (Also I'm new to Android Development, Please do help me out).
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

private ClusterManager mClusterManager;
//Same is the case with these clusters
private MyClusterManagerRenderer myClusterManagerRenderer;

FirebaseFirestore db;
// creating a variable
// for search view.
SearchView searchView;

// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.

.findFragmentById(R.id.map);

Instead of implementing a SearchView, add the places API from google in your grade file as follows:
implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:2.3.0'
and use AutocompleteSupportFragment as follows:
try {
if (!Places.isInitialized()) {
Places.initialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), GlobalVariables.google_api_key);
}
// Initialize the AutocompleteSupportFragment.
AutocompleteSupportFragment autocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete_fragment);
autocompleteFragment.getView().setBackground(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.bginfo_whit));
autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME, Place.Field.LAT_LNG));
autocompleteFragment.setCountry("ET");
autocompleteFragment.setMenuVisibility(false);
autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
@Override
public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
// TODO: Get info about the selected place.
LatLng newLatLng = place.getLatLng();
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(newLatLng));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(17));
}
@Override
public void one rror(Status status) {
// TODO: Handle the error.
//Log.i(TAG, "An error occurred: " status);
}
});
}
catch (Exception e)
{}
