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?

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

Somebody knows why? (btw I am using 1.6 sdk) Input tried

Android :: Activating G1 Without SIM - Adb Devices Returns Empty List

Mar 8, 2009

I have brought over an unlocked G1 phone from the US that I'd like to activate without a SIM card. I've added the necessary entries in the android rules file /etc/udev/rules.d/ (I'm using Ubuntu Hardy). Now the G1 is recognized by the OS as an external USB drive, but 'adb devices' returns an empty list. Is there an instruction page somewhere for this?

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 :: 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.getFromLocationName Ignores Bounding Box

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 :: 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 :: 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 :: List Returns To Top After Update

Sep 7, 2010

I have a list that gets refreshed every 2 seconds via the Handler postDelayed() method.Every 2 seconds an AsyncTask is run that makes an HTTP GET request, turns the JSON into a list of objects, then sets the ListAdapter.My problem is that every time the task completes (so, roughly every two seconds) my list jumps back to the top, even if I have scrolled down to the middle or bottom of the list. This would be very annoying to the end user, so I need the list to update in the background, as it's doing, but the current view of the list to not jump back to the top at the completion of the AsyncTask.I can include any more code needed. I'm somewhat new to android development, so I'm not sure what is helpful to others.

Android :: FindViewById(R.id.list) Returns Null

I have a class that is called when my app launches. public class MainActivity extends Activity implements NetworkEvent.


In this situation, list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list); works perfectly.

However if I then call a new intent via:

where SimpleList is defined as: public class SimpleList extends ListActivity implements NetworkEvent then when I call

From within the SimpleList class, list is null :(

How come? Both classes are within the same package.

Android :: Returns A Super Simple List Of Objects?

Apr 22, 2010

I have a web service that returns a super simple list of objects. MyObject[] data = webServiceCall();

MyObject has 1 field i want to display, "Name" (i.e. data[0].Name )

How can i turn this into an activity that lists just the name of these objects in a scrollable listActivity in android. I am getting really confused with Cursors and am not sure if I need Cursors and I"m not sure what kind of adapter to implement (baseAdapter, SimpleAdapter etc)

So i guess i'm looking for three things, the activity , the adapter and the layout.xml. Just trying to figure this android stuff out.

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 :: GetFromLocationName Always Throws IOException First Time - But Is Successful Second Time With Same Input

May 29, 2009

My calls to getFromLocationName() always fail the "first" time I start my app. I catch the IOException which has reason:

Unable to parse response from server

Then I make a second call and it succeeds. Once things are "awake" all future calls to getFromLocationName() succeed, it's just that first one, and there is a ton of latency.

I haven't run this on a device yet, just in the emulator. This seems like a network problem, but it is so reproducible I'm thinking I'm not initializing something properly. I'm using Android SDK 1.1.

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 :: 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
