i am try to get latitude & longitude from address , problem is that .. when i give only city name than it give me correct latitude & longitude and when i give complete address (like state , city name , street No.) than it do not give me correct latitude & longitude ...
thanks for your cooperative response ...
my code is ..
//String addressStr = "faisalabad";/// this give me correct address
String addressStr = "Sainta Augustine,FL,4405 Avenue A";
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(MapClass.this, Locale.getDefault());
try {
List<Address> addresses =
geoCoder.getFromLocationName(addressStr, 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0) {
latitude = addresses.get(0).getLatitude(); longtitude =
addresses.get(0).getLongitude(); }
} catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace(); }
pos = new LatLng(latitude, longtitude);
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().icon(
BitmapDescriptorFactory
.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED))
.position(pos));
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(pos, 15));
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null);
i don it ... :)
only sequence is incorrect ...
first give street address than city name and than state ... it give me correct latitude and longitude from address .. :)
and change
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(MapClass.this, Locale.getDefault());
to
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(MapClass.this);
thanks, all of you for your time ...
This is my solution :
private void createMarkerWithLocation() {
/* Use the LocationManager class to obtain GPS locations */
LocationManager mlocManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
mlocManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 300000, 40, this);
Location location = mlocManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
/*check both providers even for lastKnownLocation*/
if (location == null)
location = mlocManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
if(location != null) {
double latitude = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
LatLng currentLatLng = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
if(isConnected(this)) {
Geocoder gCoder = new Geocoder(ChoiceDestinationActivity.this);
List<Address> addresses = gCoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
String city = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(1);
String country = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(2);
Toast.makeText(this, country + ", " + city + ", " + address, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
marker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(currentLatLng)
.title(city)
.snippet(address)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.marker)));
}
}
}
public static boolean isConnected(Context context) {
NetworkInfo ni = ((ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE)).getActiveNetworkInfo();
return (ni!=null && ni.isAvailable() && ni.isConnected());
}
I use it to add a marker on google map. It allows you to retrieve all the information regarding the location of the user.
I hope you have helped!
