Android LBS系列03 Geocoder类与地址显示

Displaying the Location Address

 

  通过位置更新得到的数据是经纬度坐标值,这种格式在计算距离或者在地图上显示图钉标记很有用,但是这种十进制数字对于大多数终端用户来说没有什么意义,如果需要向用户显示一个地点,更好的做法是显示这个地点的地址信息。

 

Geocoder类简介

  Geocoder可以在街道地址和经纬度坐标之间进行转换。这个类主要用于处理两种编码:

  Geocoding前向地理编码):将街道地址或一个位置的其他描述转换成一个(纬度,经度)坐标值。

  Reverse Geocoding反向地理编码):将一个(纬度,经度)坐标值转换成一个地址值。

 

进行Reverse Geocoding

  Geocoder API 提供了进行这项工作的方法(getFromLocation()),但是需要注意到这个API是依赖于web服务的。

  如果这项服务在设备上不可用,API将会抛出Service not Available exception异常,或者返回一个空的list。

  isPresent() 方法自从Android 2.3 (API level 9)开始被加入,这个方法用于检测服务是否存在。

  由于getFromLocation()方法是同步的,因此,它们进行查找时将会阻碍线程,所以不应该放入UI线程,应该放入后台。这里可以参考一下最后给出的博客链接中的详述。

 

private final LocationListener listener = new LocationListener() 
{

    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) 
    {
        // Bypass reverse-geocoding if the Geocoder service is not available on the
        // device. The isPresent() convenient method is only available on Gingerbread or above.
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD && Geocoder.isPresent()) 
        {
            // Since the geocoding API is synchronous and may take a while.  You don't want to lock
            // up the UI thread.  Invoking reverse geocoding in an AsyncTask.
            (new ReverseGeocodingTask(this)).execute(new Location[] {location});
        }
    }
    ...
};

// AsyncTask encapsulating the reverse-geocoding API.  Since the geocoder API is blocked,
// we do not want to invoke it from the UI thread.
private class ReverseGeocodingTask extends AsyncTask<Location, Void, Void> 
{
    Context mContext;

    public ReverseGeocodingTask(Context context) 
    {
        super();
        mContext = context;
    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Location... params) 
    {
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(mContext, Locale.getDefault());

        Location loc = params[0];
        List<Address> addresses = null;
        try 
        {
            // Call the synchronous getFromLocation() method by passing in the lat/long values.
            addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(loc.getLatitude(), loc.getLongitude(), 1);
        } 
        catch (IOException e) 
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
            // Update UI field with the exception.
            Message.obtain(mHandler, UPDATE_ADDRESS, e.toString()).sendToTarget();
        }
        if (addresses != null &s;&s; addresses.size() > 0) 
        {
            Address address = addresses.get(0);
            // Format the first line of address (if available), city, and country name.
            String addressText = String.format("%s, %s, %s",
                    address.getMaxAddressLineIndex() > 0 ? address.getAddressLine(0) : "",
                    address.getLocality(),
                    address.getCountryName());
            // Update the UI via a message handler.
            Message.obtain(mHandler, UPDATE_ADDRESS, addressText).sendToTarget();
        }
        return null;
    }
}
