Hi,
I was creating a Maps application, and am stuck at this problem, as a last resort, I am posting here.

I tried the following statements, that give me an error in Eclipse, saying: The constructor Geocoder(MapsActivity.MapOverlay, Locale) is undefined




I have imported the relevant package, viz android.location.Geocoder,

What do I seem to be missing? No one seems to be having this problem, where i googled.

Please Help, Thanks!

Can you post the code where you have the Geocoder constructor placed?

It appears you may be trying to call it in an Overlay which I presume you cant do as the error is saying MapsActivity.MapOverlay is not a valid parameter to pass to the constructor.

If you post the code showing the class or method that the constructor is placed it will be easier to see whats going wrong

I dug around, and came up with this:



It solved the issue.

Thanks

Good stuff.

The error was because you were calling it within an inner overlay class, so the context (this) was passing the overlay into the method whereas you needed to send the actual class that extended mapActivity.

thanks, that was helpful
