React-native-google-places-autocomplete: Clear the form

[jonidelv]

Is there a way to clear the input ? let say once I submitted the form I want to clear the input.

You can do this:
1) The component that you are using <ReactNativeGooglePlacesAutocomplete /> need to be a class component.
2) Then add a ref to the component like this <ReactNativeGooglePlacesAutocomplete ref={(instance) => { this.GooglePlacesRef = instance }}/>
3) When you need to clear the input just this.GooglePlacesRef.clearInput()

Thanks for the tip! This worked, but I had to do a this.GooglePlacesRef.setAddressText(""). There was no clearInput() in the react-native-google-places-autocomplete component.

@ujwal-setlur Maybe they changed the component methods, I tried this like 1 month ago. Glad it works 😀

Hello. How can we clear the results of the search? setAddressText("") only clear the textinput text only.

In case this happens again just take a look at the source code of the component (GooglePlacesAutocomplete.js)
