Hi gvkreddyvamsi,
How do you think about this class android.location.Address? It seems be able to implement your feature.
Thanks.

Hi gvkreddyvamsi,

i have used your code and i have added "org.apache.commons.httpclient.Jar" file with my application and then gave mappoint user crediential .

while executing below line code in emulator i am getting exception like

DEBUG/ReverseGeoCoder(912): java.net.UnknownHostException: findv3.staging.mappoint.net - findv3.staging.mappoint.net

and i am getting statuscode and StatusLine Null value

try {
statusCode = client.executeMethod(postMethod);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.d("ReverseGeoCoder", e.toString(), e);
}


and MyContentHandler(here i am getting error "MyContentHandler cannot be resolved to a type")

my Environemnt:

hi guys.
i was just trying to mess around with the MapPoint Service and was wondering if there was a link to the ReverseGeoCode.zip file list at the end of the post (it seems to be broken)? Also, to test on an emulator do you need to put mock data in for the location? Thanks for the help!
