IIUC, doing a forward geocode (looking up an address from a name) is pretty straightforward, you do this:
private void findLocation() { List<Address> locations = null; Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault()); try { locations = geocoder.getFromLocationName(mName.getText().toString(), 5); } catch (IOException e) {} } If I put in "The White House" or "A&P Washington NJ", I get nothing back, but the application Locale shows both. If I put in "The Empire State Building", I do get an address back.
