Method Detail

isAllowFreeFormEntry

boolean isAllowFreeFormEntry()

Whether or not this provider uses an entry method that can take in an address of arbitrary format (e.g '02139', 'Cambridge Ma', or '1 Main Street Cambridge Ma') If this flag is false then getGeoLocation(String, Locale) is expected to be provided with only a postal code input.

Returns:

Whether or not this type of entry is allowed.

isAllowCityAndState

boolean isAllowCityAndState()

Whether or not this provider only supports postal code or free form address geo-location. If false then providing city and state/province is not a valid method of geolocation.

Returns:

True if this provider supports a city and state input method

                        java.util.Locale pLocale)

Parameters:

pPostalOrAddress - An address String if isFreeFormEntry is true, otherwise a postal/zip code.

pLocale - The locale of the input. Can be used to determine country and language of input.

Returns:

A coordinate representing the provided address or postal code.

getGeoLocation

Coordinate getGeoLocation(java.lang.String pCity,
                        java.lang.String pArea,
                        java.util.Locale pLocale)

Find a geolocation based on a city and a state or province.

Parameters:

pCity - The city to find a coordinate for.

pArea - An input for the general area where the city is located. Typically a state, county, or province.

pLocale - The locale of the input. Can be used to determine country and language of input.

Returns:

A coordinate representing the provided address or postal code.
