Topic: How to retrieve location specific details (City, Country)

Yo Peeps.

We are using the following code as per the example on your site

 // Using Online Maps
    // Get user location using geo co-ordinates.
    public void GetLocationGeoCords()
    {
        // Try find location name by coordinates.
        OnlineMapsGoogleAPIQuery query = OnlineMapsFindLocation.Find(null, -25.799320220947266f + "," + 28.264362335205078f);
        query.OnComplete += OnQueryComplete;
    }

    // Using Online Maps
    // Callback function.
    private void OnQueryComplete(string s)
    {
        // Show response in console.
        Debug.Log(s);
    }

This is the RAW XML result we are getting:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

we have tried parsing the RAW XML ourselves but have not been with no success.

We are only looking for the following information:
   <long_name>Pretoria</long_name>
AND
   <long_name>South Africa</long_name>
OR (Ideally)
   <formatted_address>Pretoria, South Africa</formatted_address>

How can we extract the required details from the raw response data?
thank you for your time.

Re: How to retrieve location specific details (City, Country)

Hello.

Something like that:

OnlineMapsXML xml = OnlineMapsXML.Load(s);

OnlineMapsXML formatted_address = xml.Find("result[type = \"locality\"]/formatted_address");
Debug.Log(formatted_address.Value());

// or

OnlineMapsXML localityResult = xml.Find("result[type = \"locality\"]");
OnlineMapsXML country = localityResult.Find("address_component[type = \"country\"]/long_name");
OnlineMapsXML locality = localityResult.Find("address_component[type = \"locality\"]/long_name");

if (!country.isNull && !locality.isNull)
{
    Debug.Log(string.Format("{0}, {1}", locality.Value(), country.Value()));
}
