Hi,
Can u tell me how to get Latitude and Longitude of the given Name of the City or Address?

For Example :

Suppose, I enter Delhi, then It should return latitude or Longitude of it.


Thanks and Regards,
Andy

I dont know the answer to this but am curious myself -- could be very helpful. I wonder if there is an open source /free database out there people could use to look the info up?

If you find out the answer please let us know too

Hi,
I got my answer, I put my answer here and I hope it will help others too.

Note: Here, pass address and will get Latitude and Longitude of that address. It is working fine for me.

searchedAddress --> Can be (city name/address/Zipcode).

================================================== ==============
public boolean getLatitudeAndLongitudeFromGoogleMapForAddress(Str ing searchedAddress){

Geocoder coder = new Geocoder(IPlant.iPlantActivity);
List<Address> address;
try {

address = coder.getFromLocationName(searchedAddress,5);
if (address == null) {
Log.d(TAG, "############Address not correct #########");
}
Address location = address.get(0);

Log.d(TAG, "Address Latitude : "+ location.getLatitude();+ "Address Longitude : "+ location.getLongitude());
return true;

}catch(Exception e){
Log.d(TAG, "MY_ERROR : ############Address Not Found");
return false;
}
}

================================================== ================


Enjoy !!!
Andy
