GeoSpatial Radius Search Using Objectify

Question

I am developing an application using GeoModel. I need to perform search in a particular radius based on the given latitude and longitude. I am able to generate the GeoCells in the datastore using Objectify, but not able to get back the results in a particular radius.

I am sharing my code below.

Entity Class

@Entity
public class NewsFeed implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Id
@Index
private Long feedID;
@Index
private String topic;
@Index
private String title;
private String description;
@Index
private Date createDate;
private String imageOrVideo;
private String imageUrl;
private String blobKey;
@Latitude
private Double latitude;
@Longitude
private Double longitude;
@Geocells
private List<String> cells;

    // getter and setters ...
}

Custom GeocellQueryEngine Class From This Source

public class ObjectifyGeocellQueryEngine implements GeocellQueryEngine {
private String geocellsProperty;
private Objectify ofy;
public static final String DEFAULT_GEOCELLS_PROPERTY = "cells";

public ObjectifyGeocellQueryEngine(Objectify ofy) {
    this(ofy, DEFAULT_GEOCELLS_PROPERTY);
}

public ObjectifyGeocellQueryEngine(Objectify ofy, String geocellsProperty) {
    this.ofy = ofy;
    this.geocellsProperty = geocellsProperty;
}

@Override
public <T> List<T> query(GeocellQuery baseQuery, List<String> geocells, Class<T> entityClass) {
    StringTokenizer st;
    int tokenNo = 0;
    Query<T> query = ofy.query(entityClass);
    if (baseQuery != null) {
        st = new StringTokenizer(baseQuery.getBaseQuery(), ",");
        while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
            query.filter(st.nextToken(), baseQuery.getParameters().get(tokenNo++));
        }
    }
    return query.filter(geocellsProperty + " IN", geocells).list();
}
}

Fetching Data Here

    Point p = new Point(24.8993714, 79.5839124);
    // Generates the list of GeoCells
    List<String> cells = GeocellManager.generateGeoCell(p);
    List<Object> params = new ArrayList<Object>();
    params.add("Movies");
    GeocellQuery baseQuery = new GeocellQuery("topic == topic", "String topic",params);
    ObjectifyGeocellQueryEngine objectifyGeocellQueryEngine = new ObjectifyGeocellQueryEngine(ofy(), "cells");
    List<NewsFeed> list = objectifyGeocellQueryEngine.query(baseQuery, cells, NewsFeed.class);
    List<NewsFeed> list2 = GeocellManager.proximitySearch(p, 10, 10000,NewsFeed.class, baseQuery, objectifyGeocellQueryEngine, GeocellManager.MAX_GEOCELL_RESOLUTION);
    System.out.println(list+" : "+list2);

Now the problem is I am not getting any results out from here. Can you people please help me with this as I am not getting any exception, just getting the empty list.

Answer 1

I have done a workaround for this situation I have added a parallel JDO Class to store and retrieve the geospatial results.
