Android Map View Geocoder Syntax

Question

I am a newbie in android. What I'm trying to do is to get a location by name, but I can't use this code in my android application.

String location = "London";

the code below is highlighted by red line saying "Cannot make a static reference to the non-static method getFromLocationName(String, int) from the type Geocoder"

-->>List<Address> addressList = Geocoder.getFromLocationName(location, 1);

 location="ahmedabad,gujarat,india";

 Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

        try {
            addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(location, 1);
            if (addresses.size() > 0)
                for (int k = 0; k < addresses.size(); k++) {
                    locationname = addresses.get(k).getAddressLine(0);
                    Log.i("location name", locationname);
                }
        } catch (IOException e) {

sory...But Define String locationname; in Header and String location="etc"; – ckpatel Aug 07 '12 at 07:24
yes..sure...use this..getLatitude() and getLongitude() inplace of getAddressLine to get Right Geopoint..try it – ckpatel Aug 07 '12 at 08:36
do you have any idea how to have multiple response when searching a location. for example I search "Canada, KFC" then it will response all the geopoint of all the KFC located in Canada. – user1570222 Aug 07 '12 at 08:41
yes..but use google direction API and Google Place API to easy for u – ckpatel Aug 07 '12 at 09:02
