[android-developers] MapOverlay and displaying location as an address
I am beginning to learn how to develop Android applications and I have created an app that currently brings up the user's current location on Google Maps. However I would like to extend the app in two ways: -I would like to add a MapOverlay, where it pin-points the location on the Map, I understand I need to follow the Google Map View tutorial to the Developer website to do this. However I am unsure what I need to include to make the Overlay item point to the current location? What do I need to include in the Activity? -I would like the app to instead of bringing up the latitude and longitude, to bring up the address of where the user currently is. Many thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

What do I need to include in the Activity? Look at MyLocationOverlay. This is exactly what it's for. -I would like the app to instead of bringing up the latitude and longitude, to bring up the address of where the user currently is.

For the Geocoder, here's a bunch of code you can use.. LocationManager locMgr = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE); Location lastLoc = locMgr .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); ListAddress addressList; Geocoder geo = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault()); try { addressList= geo.getFromLocation(lastLoc.getLatitude(), lastLoc.getLongitude(), 1/*only one answer*/); if (null!=addressList) { Address MyAddress = addressList.get(0); // do something with MyAddress } } catch (IOException e) { } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
