Geocoding results without displaying them on a map

android, google-geocoder, google-maps

Solution

`Geocoder`, the class that you use which, for Android is under the package:`android.location.Geocoder`.

That is different from Google Geocoding API: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/?hl=fr for which we'd use the url: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/output?parameters

There is a GeoCoder class for javascript which is related to the Google Geocoding API which is the Geocoder class of the Google Maps API v3. (searching for which takes us to: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/services?hl=fr#Geocoding)

So when there is reference to "The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited."

It would be for the API and related class of the v3 API, not the `android.location.Geocoder`.

Also, i would like you to know about: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8816

I have faced that one.

Problem

I am devoloping an app that let the user know its location. I am using this example But I also seen here that "The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited". So I cannot use Geocoder without displaying the result on the map?
