Android Competency Center

Hello,

I want to write a program that is similar to GoogleMaps in the sense that it will take the current GPS location and find local businesses around that area. I am having trouble finding a way to go about this. I thought about using AJAX Search API, but am not sure if it can be implemented in Android code. Another thought was to make a request to Google with the type of business and location of user and handle the response so that it is displayed in a ListView. Is there any documentation or examples out there that can overcome this problem. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
