Android :: Google Local Search Broken?
Apr 16, 2010
Is it my imagination or did the Google search results recently get useless?It used to be, I would search on my N1, say for "office depot" and it would show me web results with local results included. Then when I clicked on "Show Map" it would go to Google Maps and I would have the option of navigating to that location.Now, I click "Show Map" and it shows me a map with an arrow for the location and I can't do a damn thing.Am I the only one who's seeing this? I updated Google Maps a few weeks ago, and I'm thinking that's when it broke.As a workaround, I've discovered if I do the search from within Google Maps I can still navigate, but it's a headache.

One of my apps implements a search function which is invoked when the user presses the Search button. In 1.6, Android Quick Search Box can be suppressed by overriding Activity.onKeyDown() and picking out KEY_SEARCH. On Android 2.0, no more... Android's Quick Search pops up no matter whether Activity.onKeyDown(), Activity.onKeyUp() is overridden, or Activity.setDefaultKey(DEFAULT_KEYS_DISABLE) is set. Has anybody had any luck getting rid of the Android Quick Search?

A buddy has an app on his non-hero phone that is voice activated and it will pull local directory assistance from the net.I have searched for an app like this, but I cant find anything.It is like a local phone book or directory assistance online.We needed to find a liquor store and he said ABC into his phone and it gave us all the locations within a 30 mile radius.Anyone have any idea of a Hero app that does the same thing?

I would like to create a search in my app which acts like the map search in the Google Maps app. I have creates an an auto complete text view which updates dynamically based on the results of the Geocoder.GetLocationByName() Method. However the results retrieved from this function are really bad and not at all consistent with the text I pass to it. Is there a better method of doing this to achieve accurate results?

I am trying to get googlemaps to accept a local KML file.
final Intent myIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=file://" + Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/locate.kml"));
startActivity(myIntent);
The file is on the SD card, and is a valid KML file. Google Maps loads up, but says it cannot find the file.
final Intent myIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=http://www.website.com/locate.kml"));
startActivity(myIntent);
Works fine. geo: 0,0? q= seems to be very under documented, how to use it to refer to a local file?

Is it possible to get google maps to find directions for local bus routes? I know my local bus organization uses google for bus directions, and I can access it through the browser, but I'm wondering if there's a way to do it through the Maps application.

Have any other GV users experienced the threading of the same contact getting broken up? It almost seems like Google is switching the number it routes SMS through for the same contacts on a daily basis. This is even more odd because it recognizes the contact the SMS is from and labels them properly but separates the threads. I'm confused and cannot seem to find anything searching the web. I want to have all SMS threaded from the same contact like all other SMS threads work.

I have a Galaxy Nexus with stock Android 4.0.2. On day one, I imported a bunch of contacts by writing a small program using the contacts API. This worked great, and they all show up as "phone-only, unsynced contact" in the contact list, which is exactly what I want. When I now try to manually add a new contact through the phone's menus, I have no choice but to add it as a "Google contact". How can I add it as local (unsynced) from the menus?

l uninstalled Google Search and Google Play store apps, but they were not completely uninstalled and now I can't reinstall them because the store says they are installed. I cannot find them on my android tablet and so I cannot use them. What is a good app to completely uninstall them. Some of these apps will not install on my Lenovo tablet.

I published an application that stores data in a local database.
Now I have to publish an update to this application to fix some little bugs, but I am afraid that downloading and installing the update will delate the local database associated with the previous version.
I would like to know how the update system works. Will installing an update completely delete all the apk, files, databases associeted with the previous version?
If so, how can I avoid this in my code?

Check out Mono. It takes a different approach by giving you access to all artists and their releases and then matching up content from either your local files, your files uploaded to Google Music or YouTube.

If auto backup is enabled in Photos, any images I download are also backed up. This happens regardless of whether 'back up local folders' is on or off, and even if I've explicitly disabled uploads for the Downloads folder!
I only want to backup photos I take, not all the junk I download. It's clearly broken.

So I have a directory on my phone with some MP3s. I put a ".nomedia" file in the directory because I don't want these files to show up in Google Play Music
When I open 'Play Music', these files show up no matter what.
I just want Google Play Music to stream files, and I want to use an alternative player for the local Mp3s.

i just registered here to find out if opening a KML file on my SD card with Google maps in offline mode can work. I am looking for an solution quite a time, but only found this thread on stackover.
Quote:
To load kml into Google Maps on Android without writing an app, you can create a little html file somewhere with a geo-uri link to the kml file and then click on that link in any Android web browser.
For example: suppose your kml file is located in /sdcard/overlay.kml then you write a geo-uri link like this:
Quote:
<html>
<head><title>Example KML link page using a geo-uri</title></head>
<body>
<a href="geo:0,0?q=file:///sdcard/overlay.kml">overlay.kml</a>
</body>
</html>
Clicking on the link will launch Maps and then Maps will attempt to load and your kml.
Be warned however that the Android version of Maps does not appear to handle the same version/range of kml elements as the desktop version (or desktop Google Earth).
a other thread is about editing the manifest file to get maps to open local KML files
Quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="h**p://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.lyold"
[Code]....
Any way to open local KML files with google maps in offline mode ? I want to open kml ONLY in google maps, i know there are several apps out there that support kml files....

I have searched the forum and found other people in the past looking to do local searches but I didn't see an answer. I also found the documentation for the AJAX api but I'm not sure if that is what I need. I'm a little lost and I'm not sure exactly where to begin. An example would be great. I have a List View and I need to show business names in it. The names will come from a Google search based off of category and locale Ideally the results will come back in XML, but I can handle anything else if necessary.

I've got an HTC Hero cell phone, I'm in the UK but when I use Google search bar on my phones "desktop" I get directed to the Orange France web site to sign in as a cell phone customer. I'm a frequent visitor to France and suspect that I changed something in Google a couple of years ago but can't remember what. I would call my cell phone providor only I've noticed French results coming up in my search results occasionally when Googling on one of my PC's at home. I checked my search settings in Google and they are logged as UK and English.

I just got the Motorola Droid and it's great. I was playing around with it and it looks like I may have moved the "Google Search" that was originally docked at the top of the screen. Is there a way to get it to dock at the top of the screen again? I try to move it up there and it doesn't appear to be sticking / docking.

I downloaded google search last night even though we already have it built in, apparently when you go to the market it doesn't show google search as installed nor an update. I installed it and it appears to have updated the built in google search in our phones. I then uninstalled it just to see if it would tell me there was an update and then it did. I thought I would post this so everyone can update their google search. Also don't forget to install/update google voice search while you're at it.
