javax.microedition.location
Class AddressInfo

java.lang.Object
  javax.microedition.location.AddressInfo

public class AddressInfo
extends java.lang.Object

The AddressInfo class holds textual address information about a location. Typically the information is e.g. street address. The information is divided into fields (e.g. street, postal code, city, etc.). Defined field constants can be used to retrieve field data.

If the value of a field is not available, it is set to null.

The names of the fields use terms and definitions that are commonly used e.g. in the United States. Addresses for other countries should map these to the closest corresponding entities used in that country.

This class is only a container for the information. The getField method returns the value set for the defined field using the setField method. When the platform implementation returns AddressInfo objects, it MUST ensure that it only returns objects where the parameters have values set as described for their semantics in this class.

Below are some typical examples of addresses in different countries and how they map to the AddressInfo fields.
