Find your nearest pharmacy on Google Maps

I am developing an application that finds the nearest pharmacy, hospital, etc. on Android.

I can get information about my location on the phone, but how can I find places near me? Can google maps search on a map by name?

This would be one way to search for the word "Pharmacy."

String url = "http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Pharmacy&hl=en"
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(url));      intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps","com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
startActivity(intent);

And you can look at maps.google.com for more information on how to define a bounding box for your search.

Take a look at the Google Places API, it allows you to search for places around a specific location (lat, long) through a few simple REST endpoints, the one you're probably looking for is Near me search or Radar search
