Drawing Circles on Google Maps in Flutter: Your Complete Guide

When working with Google Maps in Flutter, you might face challenges, especially when trying to draw circles dynamically. One common issue users encounter is plotting a circle on a button press within a stateless widget's build method. If you find yourself perplexed by the error "Undefined name 'circles,'" you’re not alone! In this post, we’ll tackle this problem step by step, ensuring you a seamless experience in implementing dynamic circles on your map.

Understanding the Problem

In your Flutter app, you are trying to draw circles on a Google Map when a button is pressed. However, you face a couple of obstacles:

You receive an error message indicating that the circles variable is undefined.

You find it challenging to effectively manage dynamic latitude, longitude, and radius based on user input.

This can be frustrating, especially when you are eager to visualize your data appropriately on the map.

Solution Overview

To effectively plot circles on Google Maps in Flutter, we’ll follow these steps:

Declare the circles variable properly.

Adjust your build method to utilize the circles variable correctly.

Allow for dynamic input of latitude, longitude, and radius.

Let's break down these steps further.

1. Properly Declare the circles Variable

Before your build method, you need to declare the circles Set correctly. Update your code as follows:

This line declares circles as a Set of Circle objects, making it accessible throughout your class.

2. Update Your Build Method

In your build method, instead of initializing circles with a local statement, you will update its value globally:

This modification ensures that the map can now utilize the circles variable without throwing an "undefined" error.

3. Implement Dynamic Input for Latitude, Longitude, and Radius

To make your circles interactive and customizable, you’ll want to gather latitude, longitude, and radius as user input. Here’s how to set that up:

Step 1: Declare Variables

Start by declaring the variables for latitude, longitude, and radius at the top of your class:

Step 2: Create Text Fields

Use TextFormField widgets to capture user input for latitude, longitude, and radius. Here’s an example:

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively plot circles on Google Maps within your Flutter application. You’ve made your code more organized and usable by properly declaring variables, updating the build method, and implementing dynamic input. Now, whenever a user presses the button after entering their desired values, a circle will correctly appear on the map.
