Android Question How to get Real World address from FusedLocationProvider?

[Cableguy]

Hi guys,

I implemented successfully the FLP into an app I'm developing, but showing to the target users the gps data will be of little to no use to them.
How can I use the obtained location in to a "real world" location?

Thanks in advance

Have a look at the Geocoder library.

I did, but I can't get it to work with FLP.
Any small example?

It is not related to FLP.
FLP only provide a Location. Noting more.

If you need a real world address then you need to use Geocoding or use GeoLocation Api from Google.

It all starts here:

Using OAuth2 you can work with all Google Apis

Simple example:

Sub Globals
    Private Geocoder1 As Geocoder
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Geocoder1.Initialize("Geocoder1")
    Geocoder1.GetFromLocationName("Chemin de Clares 40 Fully", 1, "1")
    Geocoder1.GetFromLocation(46.1503641, 7.1431066, 1, "2")
End Sub

Private Sub Geocoder1_GeocodeDone(Results() As Address, Tag As Object)
    If Tag = "1" Then
        Log(Results(0).Latitude)
        Log(Results(0).Longitude)
    Else
        Log(Results(0).Thoroughfare)
        Log(Results(0).SubThoroughfare)
        Log(Results(0).PostalCode)
        Log(Results(0).Locality)
        Log(Results(0).AdminArea)
        Log(Results(0).CountryCode)
        Log(Results(0).CountryName)
        If Results(0).SubLocality <> Null Then
            Log(Results(0).SubLocality)           
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Thanks Klaus, simple and to the point, as usual.
