Hi I am developing an android app where I want to display the nearby locations to the user using GPS.
I found many tutorials which recommended the use of google places api but my problem is that I don’t want to use google places api but I need to input the names of the stores in a MySQL database and then use this database to display the stores in the google maps and as a list using this.
Can you post some tutorials where I can learn to do this as I am really new to android.
You can use Google Maps API for Android. Here you can draw markers on the map by specifying the co-ordinates of a location. You can also attach labels, touch-responsive dialogs etc. to the overlays.
Store your location data in your database including it’s name and lat,long co-ordinates. Then you can retrieve and pass this data to the api and draw overlays and markers to represent the places as you like.
The given link has many samples and tutorials as well.
