[android-beginners] Re: Selecting a city location
I have an app in which I want to be able to select a location from a list of cities, and find out the latitude / longitude for that city. Now surely I don't need to store all that data in the app myself? There must be an intent or similar available already to get that info? Certainly the clock weather apps (on my htc hero) already have a list of cities - can I somehow access that? The clock and weather apps (widgets?) on your Hero are proprietary and, AFAIK, have no documented Intents for anything, let alone getting latitude and longitude of a city from a list. I am not aware of anything built into Android that offers such an Intent. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Beginners group.

I don't know about getting a list of cities, but android.location.Geocoder#getFromLocationName will give you an address with latitude and longitude for strings like Boston, MA.
