Example of using Here Geocoder API on Android

The simplest use of the Here Geocoder API is to search for an address using complete or partial address information in a single-line input field, the searchtext parameter. Any address information can be provided in the single input field, country, state, county, city, street, house number, or postal code.

You can try the example here:
http://geocoder.cit.api.here.com/6.2/geocode.xml?searchtext=425+W+Randolph+Street+Chicago&gen=7&app_id=DemoAppId01082013GAL&app_code=AJKnXv84fjrb0KIHawS0Tg


This example show how to parse the returned XML on Android.
