Hello everybody, I'd like to develop an application to search 'commerces' like in Google Maps but i have no ideas about the methods to use and format of the response. Please I need your help! :roll:

I'm sorry for my poor English.

Hello dengra,

you do it like this (found at davanum.wordpress.com):

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

            // ...
            // Create a MapPoint from the map's coordinates
            MapPoint mapPoint = new MapPoint(mMapView.getMapCenter().getLatitudeE6(),
                    mMapView.getMapCenter().getLongitudeE6());
            // Create a dummy Map for use in Search
            Map map = new Map(getDispatcher(), null, 0, 0, 0, mapPoint,
                    Zoom.getZoom(mMapView.getZoomLevel()), 0);
            // Search for Pizza near the specified coordinates
            Search search = new Search("Pizza", map, 0);
            // add the request the dispatcher
            getDispatcher().addDataRequest(search);
            // Wait for the search to complete, Should do this
            // in another thread ideally, this is just for illustration here.
            while (!search.isComplete()) {
                Log.i(LOG_TAG, ".");
            }
            // ...

Thanks so much plusminus, I'll tell you how it is going. Congratulations for the web, I think is the best I've visited about Android. Thanks again.

Hello dengra,

something like this:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

            // Print the details.
 
            Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Done - " + search.numPlacemarks());
 
            for (int i = 0; i < search.numPlacemarks(); i++) {
 
                Placemark placemark = search.getPlacemark(i);
 
                Log.i(LOG_TAG, " - i : " + Integer.toString(i));
 
                Log.i(LOG_TAG, "- Bubble : " + placemark.getBubbleDescriptor());
 
                Log.i(LOG_TAG, "- Detail : " + placemark.getDetailsDescriptor());
 
                Log.i(LOG_TAG, "- Title : " + placemark.getTitle());
 
                Log.i(LOG_TAG, "- Location : " + placemark.getLocation().toString());
 
                Log.i(LOG_TAG, "- routable : " + placemark.routableString());

Hi plusminus..,
whether now in m5, placemark is available or not...
I am getting error in the import itself for placemark class...
Any other thing for getting latitude and longitude from a location place name..
Thanks.......

m5 SDK has many changes from m3 with one of them being Placemarks, Geocoder is what you need to use in m5 onwards
