I have been using this following tutorial regarding the Google Maps API and Google Places API.
http://www.androidhive.info/2012/08/android-working-with-google-places-and-maps-tutorial/
It is very good. I have managed to display markers of nearby places on a map, and display different types of markers for different categories as well. However, I would also like to display the establishment’s phone number in an alert dialog when the user clicks on one of my markers. For this, I am using a Place Detail search.
Below, I will provide a snippet of my Map Activity code that I am having problems with.
//Map Activity OnCreate()
//Check for null nearPlaces
if(nearPlaces.results!=null)
{
//Loop through all places
for(Place place:nearPlaces.results)
{
latitude=place.geometry.location.lat;
longitude=place.geometry.location.lng;
placeRef=place.reference;
new LoadDetails().execute(placeRef);
for(String s:place.types)
{
if(s.contains("restaurant"))
{
Drawable rMarker=this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.restaurant);
//phone=lp.getPhone();
iOverlay=new MyItemizedOverlay(rMarker,this);
//GeoPoint to place on map
gp=new GeoPoint((int)(latitude*1E6),(int)(longitude*1E6));
//Map overlay item
oItem=new OverlayItem(gp, place.name, place.vicinity+"\n"+"Rating: "+place.rating+" "+phone);
iOverlay.addOVerlay(oItem);
iOverlay.addOVerlay(oItem);
mapOverlays.add(iOverlay);
}
I have a variable String phone which I want to be the establishment’s phone number.
Here is the LoadDetails class which extends AsyncTask
private class LoadDetails extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>
{
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
if(placeDetails!=null)
{
if(placeDetails.status.equals("OK"))
{
if(placeDetails.result!=null)
{
phone=placeDetails.result.formatted_phone_number;
Log.d("Phone #'s",phone);
}
}
}
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
String reference=params[0];
googlePlaces=new GooglePlaces();
try{
placeDetails=googlePlaces.getPlaceDetails(reference);
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
In OnPostExecute, variable phone is set and my LogCat shows the phone numbers of various places. However, when I go to my Map Activity on my phone, and click a marker of a restaurant, the variable phone is always null. How do I fix this?
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.
