[HELP please]How to know the road or street which we are ...?

Hello,
I wanted to know if anyone had an idea to implement this function because I'm looking since yesterday and I have not found much, just:
developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Address.html
developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html
developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.html
But I am not more advanced and my question remains: I'd like to know: how to know the road on which we are?
For example, I want my application to tell me: you're on the street...xxx or highway...xxx
Like on the free application " compass " that makes it !
Thanks in advance for your answers!
And escuse me for my english, i'm french.

Well the links you have provided are the right ones except the last one. I'm not sure for what you'd need the contacts for that.
Now in principle you obtain a Location object from your LocationManager. Get the latitude and longitude from that Location object and pass those values to the GeoCoders getFromLocation() method.
You will get a List of Address objects from which you can get all the information you need.

Here is an example:

newbie ?.. how would i do this? webpage as apk?

Sorry guys for the newbie question.
i have searched google and downloaded some examples of using WebView
but i don't think that is what i want because webview still uses the Search Bar..
What i want to do is:
:
1. i have a mobile site made up already to fit most android devices.
2. I want to wrap it i guess and create an APK..
what would be the best approach?
This isn't goign to be commercial, just an apk that i will share with some friends.
- I thought i could simply wrap it, but i am a bit lost.
maybe i am lookign for the wrong thing.. on google

I've never seen a web view that uses a search bar..
you should be able to do something like
Code:
WebView wb = new WebView(this);
wb.loadUrl("http://www.yourpage.com");
setContentView(wb);
and don't forget to set the right permissions.
It might help if you told what the webpage is that you're trying to show.

I have a website I'd like to this with.
http://www.rottweilertoday.net
I'd like to have a downloadable app that does nothing but take the user to the url.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated as always.

Are you still looking for this? If so send me an IM, I'm currently creating exact that!

to convert webpage as apk use appgeyser

If you want fullscreen app just use this on your Activity with webview:
Code:
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

[Q] App question

Hello Community,
I am extremely new to creating Android Apps. I was curious how difficult is it to create an app that has 4 buttons. 2 of the buttons will take you to parts of my company's website, 1 will call our support and 1 will open the email client to email our support address. I am going over the tutorials that are free for android and just want to make sure that this is possible. Please let me know.
Thank You,
Zack

Hey Zack,
Yes your idea is possible and I think it isn't very difficulty.
What you need are intents. Here is a link about this topic. It was very helpful for me.
ww.vogella.com/articles/AndroidIntent/article.html
I hope my first post was helpful.
PS: if you want contact me and I will write you an example app with the 4 buttons and the corresponding functions. Sry for my english I'm from Germany

Spyware?

Are you trying to get this app into the store? Because they have all kinds of restrictions on what you're allowed to do in the background there, both for the sake of ensuring user privacy and because background apps reduce battery life.
Homebrew apps have a lot fewer restrictions, but people are still going to be suspicious of anything that does mysterious stuff in the background.

No this is not spyware and I don't need to place it on marketplace
I want to create call filter first of all for me, now try to find solution for this. Any ideas?

IMHO, this possible with interop only. But Ativ S has call filter already.
