I am trying to develop ATM finder application in Android. I am equipped with how to get my location and to access map. Can someone help me to find out ATMs on map?
Use the Google Maps API to find nearby places. One of the supported types is "atm".
You can use Google PLACE api...
Which will allow you to find nearest ATM, HOSPITALS... etc..
You can get LATITUDE and LONGITUDE from its service and can display in your map
here is link Hope this will help you

I am making an android app that involves displaying locations on a map. Should I make an API that serves the locations? How would I go about doing that?
You can use Google Map SDK:
Google Map SDK Documents
You need a source of data. Building an api is a good choice. To display markers in a given location you need at least the longitude and latitude.
You can have simple objects with lat/long
and a description to show in a tooltip/infoWindow
I have the following that needs to be included into an Android application, I'm hoping someone could provide some coding samples to illustrate what exactly I'm attempting to achieve here.
The Android App has a Google Maps interface on the screen.
User of the App can browse through the opened Google Map interface and select a particular location.
I want to fetch the GPS coordinates of this location.
Thanks in advance!!
I have created my application with Google Maps API for hospitals. I am able to get the nearest hospitals and displayed it. In Google maps it returns only details of the hospitals. But I need to get hospitals details with specializations like eye hospitals, diabetic center etc. I searched so far. But i cant get it. My question is google provides such options? Otherwise is there any API available to do like these kind of things? Can anybody clarify me?
Google Maps API Does'nt provide such type of filter for hospitals near any particular location.So using Google Maps API it can'nt possible to get hospitals for specializations.
Check This is a simple Google Maps Hospital API URL
Thanks
Am doing a location based app.When using GPS, it provides with street names from Google API. When user need to enter it manually, for a autocomplete text view am in need of names of all street and roads in Google API. Where could i get all street and roads name which google API provides when using GPS?
I ve searched everywhere but in vain :(
Thanks in advance.
As far as I can find, Google does not provide a database of street names for public download, but this site does: Open Street Map
These databases are available for free download. They contain geographical information about the whole planet. I hope you find them useful.
The Google Places API suggests search results for city/street names etc. which you can use for an AutoCompleteTextView.
Here is a running JS demo for testing the results.
Because your using Maps API V3, here is the reference to google.maps.places.Autocomplete
Here you can find an API for Android.
Thanks above :) Actually I found an another way too.. the names of the streets and roads in xml returned by google api are marked as "route".. so I parsed the xml having type="route" to get only road and street names!!
I want to show the user nearest landmarks on the android phone. I can read the GPS coordinates, but don't know how to get landmarks using the GPS coordinates. Is there any easily manageable way? Could someone please put some light on this?
Are you doing this through Google Maps? Is there something in the Google Maps API that lets you get landmarks?
