Using Google Maps Platform with Idiomatic Kotlin
summary
Kotlin wrappers Maps KTX and Places KTX convert callback-based Google Maps and Places APIs into suspend functions so asynchronous camera animations and Places autocomplete calls can be written as sequential coroutines. The talk demonstrates using awaitAnimateCamera to animate the map camera (e.g., Mountain View, pause, then Mexico City), awaitFindAutocompletePredictions for autocomplete, and using lifecycle_runtime_ktx to tie coroutine scopes to UI lifecycles; sample apps and the KTX libraries are open source and runnable.
