Geocoder is not working, instead use google maps

I noticed that Geocoder does not work for a month in my app. I tested it different simulator and device. But i never get a address. After test i search another method for find address. While i search this, i notice i am not alone with geocoder issue. Other developers use a work arround. I added a few line of code for encoding UTF-8 characters.

public static List<Address> getStringFromLocation(double lat, double lng)
        throws ClientProtocolException, IOException, JSONException {



String address = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=%1$f,%2$f&sensor=false", lat, lng);



HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(address);





HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();





client.getParams().setParameter(CoreProtocolPNames.HTTP_CONTENT_CHARSET, "UTF-8");




HttpResponse response;



StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();



List<Address> retList = null; 







response = client.execute(httpGet);



HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();





InputStream stream = entity.getContent();



BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(stream, "UTF-8"));



String line;



while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) 



   stringBuilder.append(line);



      JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();



jsonObject = new JSONObject(stringBuilder.toString());





retList = new ArrayList<Address>();



if ("OK".equalsIgnoreCase(jsonObject.getString("status"))) {



   JSONArray results = jsonObject.getJSONArray("results");



   for (int i = 0; i < results.length(); i++) {



      JSONObject result = results.getJSONObject(i);



      String indiStr = result.getString("formatted_address");



      Address addr = new Address(Locale.getDefault());



      addr.setAddressLine(0, indiStr);



      retList.add(addr);



   }  







}







return retList;



}

Using Accelerometer when Screen Off

Introduction Android Phones have a lot of built-in sensor such as gyro, proximity and accelerometer. Using Accelerometer in Android is a known thing. For listening sensors, class or service needs a SensorEventListener implementation. An Activity is only exists when you are seeing it. When phone enters standby mode, activity which was recently active frozen and restored whenever needed. While this frozen time, activity doesn’t run. Because of that it doesn’t need sensor updates. And Android stop to listen some sensors for power management. Services have this condition like classes (activity). In contrast to class, a service run every time, even when phone is in standby mode. Therefore Services needs sensor updates for some situations. But android stop to listen some sensor(accelerometer) in some different phones. There is a solution for that. This is not an exact solution but it work with a lot of phones. With a BroadcastReceiver listen   Intent. ACTION_SCREEN_O

How to set alarm to show a notification at future date with AlarmManager?

Lets assume you want to do a job a future time or show a notification at a selected time. AlarmManager can help to send an intent in future time. First we need to select date, Lets create a date in 2050, Calendar calendar = Calendar. getInstance () ; calendar.set(Calendar. YEAR , 2050 ) ; Date date = calendar.getTime() ; For showing notification we need a service. public class AlarmReceiver extends Service { public AlarmReceiver() { } @Override public IBinder onBind (Intent intent) { } } Add service to Manifest.xml <service android :name= "com.kozaxinan.example.alarm.AlarmReceiver" android :enabled= "true" android :exported= "true" > </service> We will modify AlarmReceiver for sending notification.
