I am using google maps Geocoder to track coordinates of cities. I am not able to store the coordinates in an array. I am getting empty array. The coordinates exist inside the "if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK)" but it is empty outside the loop.
function getcorrdinates(address){
var result = "";
var arr = [];
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
for (var i = 0; i < address.length; i++) {
geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address[i] }, function (results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK)
{
result = results[0].geometry.location;
arr.push(result);
alert ("Print Array inside the loop "+arr);//has value
}
else
{
alert(" failed");
}
});
}
alert ("Print Array outside For loop "+arr); //is empty
return arr;
}
So, here "alert "("Print Array inside the loop "+arr)" has values but when it is outside the loop it is empty and outside the loop gets executed first than the inside the loop. How can I store the values in a array so that I can use it for another function.
I am new to JavaScript, any help is appreciated.
