Thanks Nick,  Will have a look at that next.

Cheers

Graham.

 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.

 Subject: [OSM-dev] (reverse) GeoCoding on Android

 Hi All,
 I am trying to put together a little android application that works out
 where it is, and sends the info on a text message to someone (it is for
 someone who can not talk well).
 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.
