[android-developers] MapOverlay and displaying location as an address

2012-05-09 Thread chelsjo 
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.

Look at MyLocationOverlay. This is exactly what it's for.

Look at GeoCoder.

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) {  

 }
