How to Implement Google Maps Search by Address in Android

How to implement google maps search by address in Android?

For that you need to create one map overlay class in map activity.

Example

class MapOverlay extends com.google.android.maps.Overlay
{
    public boolean draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, 
    boolean shadow, long when) 
    {
        super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);                   

        //---translate the GeoPoint to screen pixels---
        Point screenPts = new Point();
        mapView.getProjection().toPixels(p, screenPts);

        //---add the marker---
        Bitmap bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(
            getResources(), R.drawable.pink);            
        canvas.drawBitmap(bmp, screenPts.x, screenPts.y-32, null);         
        return true;
    }
} 

Where please change R.drawable.pink . Put your any drawable.

Now please write below code in your search onClick event..

Example

List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocationName(txtsearch.getText().toString(),5);

if(addresses.size() > 0) {
    p = new GeoPoint( (int) (addresses.get(0).getLatitude() * 1E6), 
        (int) (addresses.get(0).getLongitude() * 1E6));

    controller.animateTo(p);
    controller.setZoom(12);

    MapOverlay mapOverlay = new MapOverlay();
    List<Overlay> listOfOverlays = map.getOverlays();
    listOfOverlays.clear();
    listOfOverlays.add(mapOverlay);

    map.invalidate();
    txtsearch.setText("");
}
else {
    AlertDialog.Builder adb = new AlertDialog.Builder(GoogleMap.this);
    adb.setTitle("Google Map");
    adb.setMessage("Please Provide the Proper Place");
    adb.setPositiveButton("Close",null);
    adb.show();
}

Where txtsearch is a EditText and controller is a map controller ..

In Android Google Map, how do I search address within specific city?

add this line for city search

&components=locality:ahmedabad

search address within specific city

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Singapore%20505468&sensor=true&components=locality:ahmedabad

Google Maps Search by Address in Android

The log message --

"Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.google.android.maps.MapView in loader
dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/com.example.searchmap-2.apk]

Clues you in that you appear to be running on a device without Google Maps API on it. If it is an emulator go to your AVD manager and create a new AVD with a target that has "Google APIs (Google Inc.) -- API Level X" where X is your target API.

If this is a real device, it looks like you have one without google maps support, try in the emulator.

Enabling search feature in google maps using Android Studio

Instead of implementing a SearchView, add the places API from google in your grade file as follows:

implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:2.3.0'

and use AutocompleteSupportFragment as follows:

try {
                    if (!Places.isInitialized()) {
                        Places.initialize(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), GlobalVariables.google_api_key);
                    }
  // Initialize the AutocompleteSupportFragment.
    AutocompleteSupportFragment autocompleteFragment = (AutocompleteSupportFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.place_autocomplete_fragment);
        
        autocompleteFragment.getView().setBackground(ContextCompat.getDrawable(getContext(), R.drawable.bginfo_whit));
        autocompleteFragment.setPlaceFields(Arrays.asList(Place.Field.ID, Place.Field.NAME, Place.Field.LAT_LNG));
        autocompleteFragment.setCountry("ET");
        autocompleteFragment.setMenuVisibility(false);
        autocompleteFragment.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(new PlaceSelectionListener() {
             @Override
                public void onPlaceSelected(Place place) {
                    // TODO: Get info about the selected place.
                    LatLng newLatLng = place.getLatLng();
                     mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(newLatLng));
                     mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(17));
                    }

            @Override
                 public void onError(Status status) {
                    // TODO: Handle the error.
                     //Log.i(TAG, "An error occurred: " + status);
                    }

                 });
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {}

open google maps through intent for specific location in android

I have not tested this but you could try :

First method:

String uri = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "geo:%f,%f", latitude, longitude);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
context.startActivity(intent);

EDIT:
This might not work with Google maps 7,0

hence you could change the uri to :

Second option:

String geoUri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + lat + "," + lng + " (" + mTitle + ")";

where mTitle is the name of the location.

Third option:

geo:0,0?q=my+street+address

Fourth option:

String map = "http://maps.google.co.in/maps?q=" + yourAddress;

Hope that works and helps :D..
