Android code to display a location picker. The user can select a point on the map, and the code returns the latitude and longitude value, and the name of the place according to Google.
(For the time being this project works as a wrapper for the jQuery latitude and longitude picker project. Read about it more: github.com/wimagguc/jquery-latitude-longitude-picker-gmaps)
This is a simple wrapper project just yet. It's fully usable (as seen in the Divespy Android app), but the plan is to add these modifications as soon as possible:
- a standalone Activity which you can call with startActivityForResult on Android
- use a native Google Maps object instead of the jQuery one
Simply create and Android project and add the following files:
- com/wimagguc/locationpicker/LocationPickerActivity.java
- assets/locationPicker/*
- res/layout/activity_location_picker.xml
- res/values/strings.xml
Then modify the AndroidManifest.xml to include this activity:
<application …>
<activity android:name=".LocationPickerActivity"/>
</application>
The app is should work on every API v8 and API v17 device.
Do with the code whatever you please.
This code uses the jQuery Javascript library and the Google Maps API. To read more about these, go to: jquery.com/ and developers.google.com/maps/

(If you are using this code for another project, please add it here - or just let me know and it will be featured here.)
