Hi all,

I am developing a google map application. When i start my personal computer and run the application first time, at that time i have to give latitude and longitude manually. Once i give it, after that it displays latitude and longitude otherwise it does not finding any particular location. Actually, i want to get latitude and longitude of the current location when i run my application.

Now the second thing is, i have a EditText in which the user will enter the location and on the basis of that i should directly go to that particular location and it should also display the latitude and longitude of that location.

How can i do that? I got this thing from the "Google Earth" in which the user enter location in the string format and it converts in latitude and longitude and display map to the user. The same thing i want to do.

If anybody have any idea about it. Please share with me.

Thanks.

For the first part of your message you can only feed false location data to the emulator.

Do you want it so that the location moves to a particular location everytime it starts?

For getting location information about a place from an Address look into the address class supplied by Android

Hi Draffodx,

Thank you for reply me. I got the thing as i want as you suggested me. Now i can enter the string as a input and get the latitude and longitude from that and i am also able to display latitude and longitude.

Now, i have another problem. I want to display the latitude and longitude on the second activity when i press the button of the first activity. How can i do that? Have you any idea regarding it?

Please give me idea to resolve the problem.

Thanks.

Hi Draffodx,

Thanks for such a nice tutorial of sub activity. But i couldn't understand

Code: Select all

For the first part of your message you can only feed false location data to the emulator.

So, can you clarify? How can i do this with the code or any settings?

Thanks.

Have a look at this for sending mock location data to the emulator using a GPX file
