I can [specify a square][1] where the Geocoder shall search in, but I found no way to specify a certain country. Unfortunately, my country isn't quadrangular ;( What should I do? Use another reverse geocoding service?
I'd want to build a search box where the user can search for a city (with auto suggestion). On every keystroke the current search query is going to be delivered to the Geocoder.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a webview in a scrollview. Webview displays my text. I have a searching feature also. It highlights my searched term. Now I want to scroll to that searched string. It should automatically scroll to that searched term. How can I do that? I tried with methods like scrollTo and scrollBy. They will not work as I cannot get the coordinates of searched term.

Using GPS is not good for me, but I know the phone recognizes where it is, but I don't know if I can access that info in code...

I'm traveling to Europe next week and would like to only take my android phone around instead of a netbook and was wondering if it's possible to use it without the sim card or how to disable everything so I'm not charged?

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?
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.
I want to use the Geocoder in an android application, I've got the following piece of code to sample it :

I get the following stack trace :

Why is the service unavailable? I have the following in my manifest

The documentation states : The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in the core android framework, how/where can I obtain such a service?
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 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 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?
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.

I am trying to run the example as given in the book Professional Android Development by Reto Meier[pg 220], but i am not able to get the address string i always get "No address" . I read about the same prob in this forum, and i tried it in api level 7 but in both 7 and 8 api levels , i am getting the same output, i.e. No address. Also can anyone please tell me that here i have to manually supply the lat and longitude , so it is it possible that to get them automatically?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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.

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.

I am planning to release my app (which i have been pllanning to do so for quite a few time now, waiting for the expansion of google checkout to happen).I am from India and I am planning to release the application using my friends UK Bank account.Is this advisable? Are there any things that I should take care of?Also is there any chance of google expanding the google checkout or in introducing new payout options like paypal?I have been waiting for the support for quite sometime and I am very much depressed on the issue that google is still not expanding the services, ive sent numerous mails to them asking for atleast the estimated release date but in vain.
Its been nearly an yeaar since android is relmore than an year since android phones have been released and still there is such slow progress. iPhones allows developers from most of the countries to publish their apps and customers from any country can buy the same, i think they can even do it through itunes.I think this is going to hurt the progress and development of android big time. If apple can do it why not google? I have been expecting some response from google atleast on the estimated date, so that we can plan accordingly.
In my application findlocation options is there.can u please help me how to find out the corresponding map by providing the country,city,street or pincode.
