Obtain the latitude and longitude using the pincode on google maps

I have a requirement to loading a Google map location given the pin code or area code. I've tried using the Geocoder method to find the latitude and longitude using a given address. This works when a location or area is given, but is not working for the pincode (specifically India). Is there is any method or way to find the latitude and longitude of a given area using the pincode.
This is specific to a map to be loaded on android, using the mapview.
The code i've written is given as:
package com.example.geocodingexample;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;
import android.location.Address;
import android.location.Geocoder;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.Toast;
import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;
import com.google.android.maps.MapController;
import com.google.android.maps.MapView;
public class MainActivity extends MapActivity {
MapView mapView;
MapController mapController;
GeoPoint p;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
mapController = mapView.getController();
mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
mapController = mapView.getController();
mapController.setZoom(14);
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
try {
List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocationName("karnataka",
1);
String add = "";
if (addresses.size() > 0) {
p = new GeoPoint((int) (addresses.get(0).getLatitude() * 1E6),
(int) (addresses.get(0).getLongitude() * 1E6));
mapController.animateTo(p);
mapView.invalidate();
Log.i("latitude obtained", String.valueOf(p.getLatitudeE6()));
Log.i("longitude obtained", String.valueOf(p.getLongitudeE6()));
Toast.makeText(this, "lat obtained", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return false;
}
}

It works when you increase the number of location in method signature.
getFromLocationName("karnataka",
5);
it will give you latitude and longitude.
Ex: -
public void findLocationName()
{
try {
Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses;
addresses = gcd.getFromLocationName("110002",5);
for(int i=0;i<addresses.size();i++){
Log.e("","in loop");
Log.e("","lat :,,,,,,,,,,,,,"+addresses.get(i).getLatitude()+" long............"+addresses.get(i).getLongitude());
Toast.makeText(this, "lat : "+addresses.get(i).getLatitude(),1).show();
Toast.makeText(this, "long : "+addresses.get(i).getLongitude(),1).show();
}
}
catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}

For India it will not work by Pincode.
But try this alternate method. you can add additional arguments, such as "Near=", perhaps you can add Indian states to the query and make it work.
This may work but i am not sure.
Have fun

Android update map location with ASync Task

I have a map view which determines the user location in an ASyncTask and thereafter adds some markers at certain locations on the map. I cannot seem to update the map after a location is found. Is there any possible way to wait for the location to be found before running onPostExecute. I tried including the location listener in the MainMapView class without using an ASyncTask. This updates the map, but makes the map really slow and laggy. I assume that this is due to the fact that the map updates everytime a new location is found. Any Help is much appreciated.

I just noticed that the map was lagging due to the shadows being created for each of the marks, I do not know why this was caused, however removing the shadows for the markers using the following code in the OverlayItem class has solved my issue.
#Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow)
{
if(!shadow)
{
super.draw(canvas, mapView, false);
}
}
It must be noted that the shadows for the markers were horribly out of position. If anyone has a solution for incorporating shadows which are in the correct positions please do let me know. Regards Kush

How to get latitude and longitude from address on Android?

I am beginner in Android and I am working to create the Google Map which is able to mark the specific location from address.
For now, my following code is able to mark "empire state building" but nothing others..:<
I want to know how to get latitude and longitude from street address or full address, and mark it on the map.
I modified the manifest file for supporting Google Map view like INTERNET and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=hyderabad&sensor=true_or_false
or
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=hyderabad&sensor=true_or_false
use any one of the url just replace your desired address and have a network hit then it will return a list of related lat and long from google server.

Try the geocoding service.Send an http request to the service then read the response and place a marker on the map.

To get Latitude and Longitude from street address or full address do following:
int maxResults = 5;
String address = "Example Road 15";
Geocoder geo = new Geocoder( context, Locale.getDefault() );
List<Address> addresses = geo.getFromLocationName( address, maxResults );
for ( Address a : adresses )
map.addMarker( new MarkerOptions().position( new LatLng( a.getLatitude(), a.getLongitude() ) ).title( "Hello" ).snippet( "Description about me!" ) );

whats wrong i'm doing i want to add other overlay rather than the one appear when i open the gps at my specific location

I'll try to answer based on the (little) info you gave.
Your code shows a MapOverlay that draws a bitmap over one point.
In the onCreate() method of your application you create MapOverlay and add it to the list of overlays of yout MapView, but you never call setPointToDraw() so you end up with a null GeoPoint
You are always clearing the list of overlays before addind a new one, so you always end up with one overlay.
If you want to display multiple points you can use ItemizedOverlay
If you want to display the users current location you can use MyLocationOverlay
