检索当前位置的附近地点

Question

I am working on an application where I need to retrieve nearby restaurants of a current location. Forums suggested me to use Google Places API. When I read about Google Place API, it says that a project needs to be a "Google App Engine project" + Android client. But I got confused that will that be a right way of doing it as I am fairly new to Google world.

Can someone suggest me which will be the best way of retrieving nearby restaurants of a current location?

Thanks.

follow this link. Create an app key for your app & You only have to make an Http request, & you will get all info in Xml//json. https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/xml?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=harbour&sensor=false&key=AddYourOwnKeyHere

In above url, Add your Api key & locaton. It will return a xml to you containing all restras in circle of 500m.

this url will only accept get Requests. Yov will have to append all parameters in Url itself.

@Override
                public void run() 
                {
                     String params="location="+(location.getLatitude())+","+(location.getLongitude())+"&radius=5000&types=food&sensor=false&key=your kay";
                        try
                        {
                            http.getPlaces(new URL("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/xml?"+params));
                            Log.i("url", "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/xml?"+params);
                            setList();
                        } 
                        catch (MalformedURLException e)
                        {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                        catch (Exception e) 
                        {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }

                }
            });


public void getPlacesDetails(URL url) throws Exception {
    try 
    {
        connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        connection.setDoInput(true);
        connection.setDoOutput(true);
        connection.setUseCaches(false);

        connection.setConnectTimeout(TIMEOUT_CONNECT_MILLIS);
        connection.setReadTimeout(TIMEOUT_READ_MILLIS);
        connection.setRequestMethod("GET");

        inStream = (InputStream) connection.getInputStream();


        SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
        SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
        XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();

        HospitalDetailParser myXMLHandler = new HospitalDetailParser();
        xr.setContentHandler(myXMLHandler);
        xr.parse(new InputSource(inStream));


    }

    catch (MalformedURLException e) 
    {

        Log.i("exception in sms", "" + e.toString());
        throw e;
    }

    catch (Exception e) 
    {

        Log.i("exception in sms", "" + e.toString());
        throw e;
    }

}
