Android :: Geocoder Not Returning Result

May 8, 2009

My application that uses geocoding was working fine till last week and now all of a sudden am not getting proper data from the same.

I used getLocality() , which was returning CITY name previously. But now it is returning NULL.

Is something changed? or Has someone faced the same issue?

My application is on SDK 1.0

Android :: Geocoder Not Returning Results In 1.5 Preview

Android :: GeoCoder: GetFromLocationName

Jul 24, 2010

I wanted to make an app that displays the map, for example, Pizza in San Francisco, CA, United States, as well as in maps.google.com: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=pt-BR&geocode=&q=Pizza+...

How do I do that?

I tried this: adresses = geoCoder.getFromLocationName addresses = ( "Pizza in San Francisco, CA, United States", 5); but does not work.

And this function will only return addresses, does not return the url images. Probably I need to use a different function, but which one?

Android :: GeoCoder Is Not Working In SDK 1.5

May 15, 2009

I have two problem regarding Location API for SDK 1.5

1) I have developed a location based application for SDK 1.0.

I have used Geocoder to get the location data. Its working fine on SDK 1.0 emulator and its supported devices.

Today I downloaded SDK 1.5, and tried to run the same app. But the Geocoder didn't give any result. I am getting

Geocoder.getFromLocation(loc.getLatitude(), loc.getLongitude(), 1) as null.

2) LocationManager.removeUpdates(location_listener) is not removed (I mean still the GPS icon is visible on emulator).

But the same worked fine on SDK 1.0.

Android :: Geocoder No Longer Works On New PC

Feb 16, 2010

I have a problem getting the Geocoder to return results on my new PC during development. I started writing a android app on my other (Win XP) system and Geocoder worked fine and returned locations based on an address that I passed to it.

I recently bought a new PC (Win 7). Moved the code over to it and now the no address queries return any results. I tried a couple that did work on the xp machine, but are returning no results on the new pc. It does not give any errors.

I did generate a keyfile on the old pc. Do i need to create another on the new pc? Does the Geocoder require the key? It is not from the maps api.

Android :: IOException On Geocoder.getFromLocationName

Jul 29, 2010

I am trying to get the geo codes for an address.

I am using: Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(GeoNoteEditor.this, Locale .getDefault()); List<Address> addressList = null; addressList = geocoder.getFromLocationName(addressString, 1);

The problem is that I am getting an IOException sometimes when I call getFromLocationName for the same addressString. This does not happen all the time. When I get the IOException, if I repeat the getFromLocation call, sometimes it works sometimes I get the IOException again.

How do I prevent the IOException from happening?

Android :: Geocoder API - Returns A Null Value

Aug 26, 2009

I am having a real hard time with the geocoder API of android sdk 1.5rc2. In my app I am trying to get the addresses corresponding to a location name by using the getFromLocationName method of the Geocoder class. But the problem is whenever I call this method it returns a null value. I have also pushed a geodb file containing some fake addresses at 'data/misc/location' directory in the phone.

The format of the data in the geodb file is as follows :

address 1 latitude "38.898763" longitude "-77.036655" line 0 "1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW" line 1 "Washington, DC 20006" locality "Washington" region "DC" postalCode "20006" countryCode "US" countryName "United States"

and following is the code snippet : Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault()); List<Address> addresses=geocoder.getFromLocationName("1600 Pennsylvania", 10);

Android :: Geocoder Backend Service

Jun 17, 2009

I was reading the documentation regarding the Geocoder class and the description says:

"The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in the core android framework."

I assume this means that the proprietary Google Maps API's provides this backend service which routes through the Google Maps service. I searched around trying to find information on constructing my own Geocoder backend service but have come up nil. Is there any way to produce a custom backend for the Geocoder class?

If it helps formulate a better response I'm trying to determine locations based on the GPS coordinates to produce areas such as streets, cities, parks, shopping centers, etc. If something like this already exists then I'd be more than happy to use it, but from what I've seen searching around no such service exists for an Android application.

Android :: Geocoder And Location Search

Jul 8, 2010

In my application, we allow users to add locations. So far, we have been using the Geocoder class to let users search for different locations. For the most part, this works quite well. However, there are some issues we have been running into and I'm not sure what we can do to fix them.

Some searches (such as "moscow") return nothing when I feel you should definitely be getting a result for this. Other searches (such as "que") give very poor results and not the ones you would expect. However, if I use the Google maps application and run these same searches, I get results as I would expect.

I would really like my app to give search results like the maps application! My guess is that since the maps application is developed by Google, they are using some search functionality not available to the rest of us developers. Unless I'm missing something?

How to get better search results?

Android :: Calling GeoCoder GetFromLocation

Mar 23, 2010

I'm having a problem calling GeoCoder.getFromLocation();

I have a LocationListener calling an updateLocation() method in my class, which in turns calls GeoCoder.getFromLocation() with the current location.

CODE:............

When I run this code on a device (HTC Magic 1.6) I get the following error :

D/LocationMasfClient(15392): getAddressFromProtoBuf(): Ignore feature 0,1er Arrondissement Paris D/AndroidRuntime(21403): Shutting down VM W/dalvikvm(21403): threadid=3: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x4001da38) E/AndroidRuntime(21403): Uncaught handler: thread main exiting due to uncaught exception

If I run the same code on an emulator (1.6 with google api) the error I get is :

D/GpsLocationProvider(52): setMinTime 0 E/LocationMasfClient(52): reverseGeocode(): no feature in GLocation

I am able to successfully get lat/long and pass it to the geocoder to get an Address. However, I don't always get an address back. Seems like it takes a couple of attempts? I'm not sure why.

Is there a better way for me to obtain the address at this point?

Android :: Reverse Geocoder - GetFromLocation - Lat - Lnt

Nov 2, 2010

I find that geocoder apis particularly getFromLocation using Lat and Lnt is not very reliable. I am noticing this behavior more after I upgraded to android 2.2 on my Droid. I get an invalid argument exception for Latitude. The funny thing it is not consistent in this behavior.

Android :: GeoCoder To Get The Lat/lon For A Couple Of Addresses

Sep 9, 2010

I'm trying to use the GeoCoder to get the lat/lon for a couple of addresses. I'm running into an error where the address list comes back empty sometimes. It seems to be completely random. I have a start point and an end point to draw and route. Sometimes I can't get either one, sometimes I can get the start but not the end, sometimes I can get the end but not the start. I never seem to be able to get both. Not sure why. Yesterday it worked fine.

Android :: Geocoder GetFromLocationName Is Not Finding Address

Jul 20, 2010

Geocoder getFromLocationName is not returning anything if I'm searching for business places. Here are my finding so far:

CODE:..............

I've tested this on 1.6, 2.1 and 2.2 devices that has Google Maps.

I'm trying to find if there's a limitation explained somewhere on the SDK, but there is none except:

The amount of detail in a reverse geocoded location description may vary, for example one might contain the full street address of the closest building, while another might contain only a city name and postal code. The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in the core android framework. The Geocoder query methods will return an empty list if there no backend service in the platform (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html)

[update]

So after nights of research, I can't seems to make it work - Google simply wont give me the result. Some discussion on android-developers points a fact that getFromBusinessName was omitted when Google Navigation came out. So I'm starting to assume that Google is pulling back some of their geocoding service.

I can always create a webpage that use Google Geocoder API, but its limited to 2500 api call - and I dont think it will be legal (lol). So what are my alternatives here?

Android :: Google Maps API And Geocoder.getFromLocationName

Oct 29, 2010

I want to search for GPS locations for with Google Maps. I have already registered with Google Maps API, and got the key. I can successfully pinpoint my current location on a map. The next part is to search for items around the current GPS location.

Approach 1: I tried using Android's geocoder.getFromLocationName("UPS",5) but I am not getting anything.

Approach 2: hit Google https://maps.googleapis.cm/maps/apo/place/search but it needs a client id. To get a client id I have to create a premier account. Do I have to do all this?

Android :: Why Geocoder.getFromLocationName - Returns An Empty List

May 19, 2010

I'm using the android.location.Geocoder for the first time. The Idea is: I have a Listener on a button which takes input from an EditText and resolve the location. Up to now it's debugging phase, so I have no handler taking messages from the thread, only geocoding and write to logcat.

Q: Why this method always returns an empty list of Address objects?

Android :: GeoCoder.getFromLocationName Throws IO Exeption In Froyo

Aug 26, 2010

I have recently noticed that when Running the function geoCoder.getFromLocationName() on android 2.2 (Froyo) then i Receive a IOExeption (Which does not occur on other SDK versions).

After some reserch i have found suggentions to add the following Permisions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

However this does not solve the problem, and this appears to be a Android SDK Bug.
Is there a knows solution to this problem?

Here is the stack trace though it is not particularly helpful the inner stack trace is null so not great.

Android :: Intent And URI Conversion Result

Feb 14, 2009

We can convert from Intent to URI and from URI to Intent. From Intent to URI string Intent intent1 = new Intent ();
String uriString = intent1.toURI ();
From URI string to Intent Uri uri = Uri.parse (uriString);
Intent intent2 = new Intent ();
intent2.setData (uri)

After conversion, intent1 and inten2 should be same. for example:
Intent intent1 = new Intent ();
intent1.addCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent1.addCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
Log.v ("", "Intent1 = " + intent1);
if (intent1.hasCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_HOME))
Log.v ("Intent1", "#1 hasCategory TRUE");
else Log.v ("Intent1", "#1 hasCategory FALSE");
String str = intent1.toURI ();
Uri uri = Uri.parse (str);
Intent intent2 = new Intent ();
intent2.setData (uri);
Log.v ("", "Intent2 = " + intent2);
if (intent2.hasCategory (Intent.CATEGORY_HOME))
Log.v ("Intent2", "#2 hasCategory TRUE");
else Log.v ("Intent2", "#2 hasCategory FALSE");
result Intent1 = { categories=android.intent.category.HOME,android.intent.category.LAUNCHER} } #1 hasCategory TRUE

Intent2 {data=#Intent;
category=android.intent.category.HOME;
category=android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;
end } #2 hasCategory FALSE

In this sample code, Intent2 is a conversion result from Intent1. If you run this sample code, Intent1 result and Intent2 result are different. Because Intent1 and Intent2 have a same Intent.CATEGORY_HOEM, the result should be Intent1 and Intent2 is TRUE (intent.hasCategory). I think this is bug. And the hint is Intent1 and Intent2 's toString result is different.
Intent1 = {categories=android.intent.category.HOME,android.intent.category.LAUNCHER}
Intent2 = { data=#Intent;category=android.intent.category.HOME
category= android.intent.category.LAUNCHER;end }

I don't know how to convert Intent to URI(String) and convert URI (String) to Intent. I want to save Intent to DB and read Intent from DB.

Android :: Way To Return Result Of AsyncTask

Jan 21, 2010

According to my research, which includes reputable sources (Mark Murphy et al), the most preferred way of polling a remote source and presenting said data to the user is by creating a service and using AsyncTask within that service to do the polling. I have done that.But, when I read the docs there seem to be several "Threading Rules" that conflict with this way of doing things: "The task instance must be created on the UI thread." and "execute(Params...) must be invoked on the UI thread." As stated, I have created the task instance on the Service thread (not the UI thread). Am I missing something? Also, when the AsyncTask finished, I sent out a Broadcast on onPostExecute, which is then picked up by the Activity, telling it to retrieve the final value again from the service (since I couldn't obviously update the UI from the service). I couldn't figure out any other way to return the result of the AsyncTask. Is this the correct practice?
