I need some help using the Google API in Java. Basically, I need to create a web application in Java that will call the Google Custom Search Engine (using their API) and retrieve the result.
I have read the Google starting guide, but not sure how to use their API. Can anyone please point me towards some examples or tutorial links.
The download off http://google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/ has all the libraries you'll need, but the samples doesn't have anything specific to Custom Search. The closest you'll get is here: they provide a jar file with source code. It doesn't use the Google Java client library, but might get you started with the REST api.

I know there's a web service for performing a nearby search but is there an equivalent method in the one of the java API's?
I'm trying to search for nearby places that match a given name so that I may mark them on a map. Closest I have found, with the java API's, is to use getAutocompletePredictions which gives the placeId. Using that, I can get the location. That's potentially a lot of separate requests.
Can anyone help/advise?
The Places API for Android doesn't have this functionality yet. You can see a corresponding feature request in Google issue tracker:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37530354
Feel free to add star to this feature request to add your vote and subscribe to notifications.
In the meantime you should use Places API web service in order to do nearby and text searches. There is a Java Client for Google Maps Services that you can find on github:

I would suggest trying this library. Hope this helps!
I'm working on java application in eclipse. And need to use geocoding API. But can not find a page with instructions to learn how to use it in eclipse without using geolocation stuff.
There is pretty nice Java Client Library for Google Maps Web Services on GitHub. You can have a look at

I am planning to write a native java application that can get some blogs by searching with a few words. And I know we can get some results by searching on google blog search. So I want to know if I can write such an application by using google blog search. But I found that google seems just offer a javascript API for its blog search. So could anyone tell me how to use google's blog search service in java?
If it's not possible, do you guys know some other services that can do similar thing?
Thanks a lot
Google's blog platform is Blogger, and it provides an API for working with the blogs on that platform. In addition, there are a number of client libraries for this API, including Java.
Here's some resources to help you get started:
Here you can download the Java client library for the Blogger API
Here is the documentation for the Blogger API in general.
You can see information on the different types of API calls you can make here.
And here is a link to the APIs-explorer for the Blogger API, where you can play around with its capabilities
If you're new to using the Google Java Client Libraries for accessing Google APIs, you may also want to look at the documentation for the client libraries in general, here
It looks like by default, the API only supports searching for posts in a given blog, not across all blogs, so you may need to do something clever to achieve your end goal (but it wouldn't be fun if it was given all away for free, right?)
I am looking for a Java API to access Google Maps or preferably Google Earth. But seem to be have problems finding the right solution after searching the web.
From a Java desktop application, I want t be able to create a map with about 1,000 custom points on which will have been pre-geocoded with Long/Lat. Once the application has created the map (with points on), I want the application to show the user the results.
I know you can't embed a map in an application due to T&C's of the service, so would be happy to launch a browser session, or preferably launch Earth and auto show the map on that.
I did find the Google Maps Web Services API, which let me do the geo-coding from Java using JSON, but can't find anything like this for actually creating maps and adding points to maps.
I also found some old java GDATA API's, but these seem deprecated now.
Any advise on the best current way to do this would be appreciated.
You can try to use JxMaps product to integrate map to Java desktop application. Custom points can be displayed as markers.
you can check the google map documentation of geocoding API
