I've been looking at the Places API from Google for this, but I don't know if this is the right direction to take. The project revolves around finding a list of places based on a specific location, other than the current location (for instance, what kind of restaurants are around your friend's house (based on longitude and latitude)). Most of what I've seen with the Places API involves using the user's current location. Is there a way to pass in a predetermined location? Or can I fool it into thinking that location is my current location?
I think still places is the best option for you, you have to really understand the api to get what you need from it. Look at how could you send a request to the places api with a given location (long, ltd) and it will return nearby places.

You need to collect users Longitude and Latitude then compare users longitude and latitude over server and send result back to users.But the question you asked is vast topic it can't be explain like that but for the better result use Spatial Databse

For getting nearby famous places, you have to use Google's Places API. You will get complete information from the above link.
Also you can go through the discussion related to the same thing in Using Google Places API
Search by category, with over 100 different categories offered, and an Autocomplete service: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/autocomplete.html

There are a number of ways to get that, mostly web services but you need to check the terms of service, a lot of them don't want you to embed them in a paying app
via Weather Underground and others via Msn and Google API National Weather Service REST
You probably just want to search for "[Android] Weather" in SO search bar and find something that fits. Googles Weather API seems to be the easiest Google Weather API Tutorial

There is a Places API Application Form that you'll need to fill in in order to get access to the Google Places API. This application will be verified by Google and they'll provide you with the necessary access.
You'll also need a Google Adsense Publisher ID (
