Class GeoApiContext

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable
    public class GeoApiContext
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Closeable
    The entry point for making requests against the Google Geo APIs.

    Construct this object by using the enclosed GeoApiContext.Builder.

    GeoApiContexts should be shared

    GeoApiContext works best when you create a single GeoApiContext instance, or one per API key, and reuse it for all your Google Geo API queries. This is because each GeoApiContext manages its own thread pool, back-end client, and other resources.

    When you are finished with a GeoApiContext object, you must call shutdown() on it to release its resources.
