I want to do some application to learn how to work with android and maps. So I want to make something simple, like showing on the map the schools or museums from a given city.
I think I have to use the Google Places API, so I read some things about it. I saw that I have to make some request to a rest server, and they will return me a json response. I understand that. But, what I don’t understand is how can I “translate” those json responses into pinpoints on the map.
If you can guide me to some tutorials or some examples with this, I would appreciate that. I saw some links right here, on SO, but they were incomplete or not working.
Thanks
you use the json data as follows:
var a=new JSONObject(jsonData);

Use the data from a to constuct the necessary objects and add it to the map.
