I am a .Net developer, wanting to make my first Android app. I have installed Eclipse and am able to make the usual Hello World app. Now, my next step is a useful app (to me) which shows me geographical information based on my position.

I’m hoping it’s a simple app to write, and a good primer for a first Andoid app.

I’d like to create a simple screen, which shows the nearest Suburb to my current location. So, a very basic screen, that stays on (Doesn’t lock?), and simply shows me “You are in “. I’m not sure if it’s possible, but it would be great if I could show, “Your nearest Railway Station is “

I’d like to ask for a tutor, or someone who could guide me, but that’s pushing my luck, and am looking for pointers and ideas on how to do this. I’d then like to share it as an example of what a beginner (but experienced developer) can do with Android.
