You need a POI DB for this. I'm not sure (because I've never used it) but Google Places API can be useful. Check this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3830149/using-google-places-api-in-android But then, there are very good similar alternatives out there. TomTom Places is one of them. If you want to work on this for educational purposes, go for it. If you plan to enter the competition, you should think how to differentiate your work from the existing (and very good) alternatives. > Also I want to draw the > data from wikimapia or a similar site. Check if the sites you are interested in have online APIs (e.g. RESTful APIs). If yes, then you should study their documentation explaining how to use these APIs. Good luck. ------------------------------------------------- Ali Chousein http://www.codeproject.com/KB/android/PayGol-Android.aspx http://weatherbuddy.blogspot.com | http://twitter.com/weather_buddy http://geo-filtered-assistant.blogspot.com https://marketplace.cisco.com/apphq/products/994 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
