Hello Graham, You should be able to use, or at least adapt, any Java OSM parsing code (e.g. that used in JOSM, Osmosis etc)Android uses the same SAX parser as standard Java.
See https://github.com/nickw1/Freemap/tree/master/java/freemaplib/src/freemap/ for a Java parsing library which I have successfully used in Android apps (OpenTrail and the experimental Hikar). This doesn't parse .osm, it parses a custom XML format geared for rendering applications, but the principles are similar.

The location finding and SMS bits are working now, but the location is lat/lon, which is not very friendly for the recipient - I would like an address. I could use an internet service for this, but I would really like it to work without an internet connection, so am thinking of including an OSM data extract on the phone sd card and trying to use that first, before falling back to an internet service. I wondered if anyone knows of any ready made code to process and search OSM data on Android/java before I write something? I guess Vespuccii must have all the parsing stuff in it, but I will be needing to handle more data that you would have in an editor - can anyone give me any pointers to the best way to do this on a low powered mobile device? Thanks Graham. -- Graham Jones Hartlepool, UK. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
