Upgrading geocoder-java for Java 8 and Adding Geocoder API Key Support

33 views Asked by At

I'm currently using the com.google.code.geocoder-java:geocoder-java:0.15 library in my Java project to retrieve latitude and longitude for a given location using a client ID and client key. However, I now need to upgrade the library to a version that is compatible with Java 8 and supports the use of an API key for the Geocoder API.

I'm facing the following challenges and have some questions regarding this upgrade:

  1. What is the latest version of geocoder-java that is compatible with Java 8?
  2. How can I update my project to use this new version?
  3. Does the latest version support the use of an API key for the Geocoder API, and if so, how can I configure it to use an API key instead of a client ID and client key?

I've reviewed the official documentation, but I couldn't find clear instructions on how to make this transition. Any help, code examples, or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

What did you try: I searched for the latest available Maven dependency for com.google.code.geocoder-java:geocoder-java on Maven Repository. However, I couldn't find a version later than 0.16.

What was expected: I expected to locate a more recent version of the com.google.code.geocoder-java:geocoder-java library that is compatible with Java 8 and supports the use of an API key for the Geocoder API. I also attempted to explore the official documentation for Geocoder API usage with com.google.code.geocoder-java:geocoder-java:0.16, but unfortunately, I did not find any information regarding the use of an API key or an upgrade path to a newer version.
