I am developing an application in which i have to use the current location address. So how can i get the current location as an address. including street number and all.

The simplest solution is to call a MapView’s [lua]nearestAddress[/lua] function. But this would mean you would have to display a MapView onscreen.

If you don’t want to use a MapView, then you can fetch this information from Google’s servers via their HTTP API (see the link below) and Corona’s [lua]network.request()[/lua] function. That’s a task for you, but I remember someone else on our forum who figured out how to do this.

Have a look at sample app “Interface/MapView” that is included with the Corona SDK for an example on how to use this API and what Android permissions that you need to set up in your “build.settings” file. You need those Android permissions in order to get location data from the device. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 34646 reply_id: 137940[/import]
