I am a Student..and right now trying to develop code for android..that shows nearby hospital locations to user’s current location..
i know how to get kml file for that..and know that i need to parse that file..to get different Placemark attribute value..
but couldn’t succeed ..
so if any of my friends have small guide,tutorial,code,example regarding how to parse the kml file for fetching value of multiple placemark..please please let me know..

Answer 1

fire a html query for a url like this :

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=hospitals&aq=&sll=54.89517,-1.866302&sspn=0.323796,0.811615&ie=UTF8&hq=hospitals&hnear=&ll=54.902277,-1.800385&spn=0.323738,0.811615&z=11&output=kml

note these

hq=hospitals

and

output=kml

You will receive a kml. Next you will need a sax parser. This code is sufficiently awesome. Use it only as a reference.
