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?

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?

How can I convert a street address into a latitude + longitude? I've tried to use Geocoder.getFromLocationName() with a bounding box, but all results I get are outside of the box. Is there a way to limit the hits to a certain area on earth?

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?

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?

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

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.

The code below works perfectly for real devices running on 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 as well as the emulator running on 2.1. However, executing it on the Nexus One (running 2.1) raises an IOException:Code...

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.

I'm trying to parse an XML file from res/raw or assets/ using the javax SAX parser. When the file is too large (~ 1MB), the parse(...) method throws an IOException without further information, such as message or inner exception. When I reduce file size to e. g. 600 kB, it's working again.

I have just started with Android development, and facing one issue in the android application.
When application tries to read the data from file (raw resources), it throws IOException on readLine() function. code is as below:

I'm running into a strange problem while reading from an InputStream on the Android platform. I'm not sure if this is an Android specific issue, or something I'm doing wrong in general.
The only thing that is Android specific is this call:
CODE:........
This returns an InputStream for a file from the Android assets. Anyways, here's where I run into the issue:
CODE:........
When the read() executes it throws an IOException. The weird thing is that if I do two sequential single byte reads (or any number of single byte reads), there is no exception. Ie, this works:
CODE:........
Any idea why two sequential single byte reads work but one call to read both at once throws an exception? The InputStream seems fine... is.available() returns over a million bytes (as it should).
Stack trace shows these lines just before the InputStream.read():
CODE:........
Changing the buffer size to a single byte still throws the error. It looks like the exception is only raised when reading into a byte array.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit edition and Eclipse 3.5 with the Android plugin. Every time I create a new project and try to publish it, I get an error like this:
CODE:............
The emulator is working perfectly, adb can see it, I can even logcat from it, but it can't push or pull anything from it. Nothing appears in logcat to suggest the emulator even received any command. It doesn't matter if I have the Firewall on or off, or if I try invoking adb install to bypass the plugin. Nothing works even with a blank app.

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.

What is the preferred way of reusing a MediaPlayer when using resources? My try looks a bit ... too complicated... so maybe I should be happy to see that it didn't work. (I run the Android 1.5 SDK and emulator.)
According to this thread my problem may be a permission problem. http://groups.google.se/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread...
I get the same error. But in my case it only occurs when I use FileDescriptor!?! The use case differs however, because I use a resource stored in the bundle. I have s0.mp3 safely stored in the project /res/raw and it successfully plays when I use SoundPool or MediaPlayer.create. And the log print tells me I referenced the correct file and stay safely in my package.
I'm sure my way of getting the fd out from a package resource is the problem, I didn't find any other way... But why didn't setDataSource throw the exception instead of a printout? And why on earth is the same resource happily played one way but not the other? Seems like a design flaw rather than a security raise. Should I look in the MediaPlayer.create code to see how they get around the problem or can you help me understand how it works?
This is a test code snippet: (from onCreate of a simple Activity)
CODE:...........
And the error:

I am trying to write a sample program to record the video (say camcorder application). When i run my program using the emulator (I have android-sdk- windows-1.5_r3) I see java.io.IOException: prepare failed. error in logcat output.
Further I can see that I have came across this error when i call MediaRecorder.prepare() from CamcorderActivity.surfaceCreated() But I am surprised to see that activity got launched and I am seeing the camera preview! Again the preview is seen only in half of the screen! Its weird!!!
Further when i do recorder.start() to record the video I get java.lang.IllegalStateException. Yes this is obvious since the prepare () has failed. But the question is why prepare() has failed ?
Here is my code ... package com.example;

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.

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);

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

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.

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?
