Ok,
here is my solution:
private void searchOnMap(String search) {
// ** brings up Google Maps with results, but unable to pass data back
to my app - no go
// Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:
0,0?q=" + search.replace(" ", "+")));
// this.startActivityForResult(intent, MAP_ACTIVITY);
// ** works with address only; NO BUSINESS search - no go
// Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(this);
// try {
// List<Address> results =
geoCoder.getFromLocationName(search,
MAX_SEARCH_RESULTS);
// int a=results.size();
// } catch (IOException e) {
// e.printStackTrace();
// }
// ** works like a charm! The only unsure is the map key. I generated
for http://localhost; see how far we get
StringBuilder responseBuilder = new StringBuilder();
try {
URL url = new
URL("http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/
local?v=1.0&q="
+ URLEncoder.encode(search, "UTF-8")
+
"&key=ABQIAAAArsnSCSicZxq21ogV4Uu_JxT2yXp_ZAY8_ufC3CFXhHIE1NvwkxQ3l8j5e79VEU4_ht1ROH0YrZtWuw");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(url.openStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
responseBuilder.append(inputLine);
}
in.close();
} catch (MalformedURLException me) {
me.printStackTrace();
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException ue) {
ue.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException ie) {
ie.printStackTrace();
}
try {
JSONObject json = new
JSONObject(responseBuilder.toString());
int a = json.length();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
