OSMDroid Points of interest using multiple facilities

Question

I am using OSMDroid with its bonus pack to display a map and get point of interest near a location, but I can't find a way to get POI of different type in once.

As indicated in the documentation I am using the function getPOICloseTo() but it doesn't seem to handle a null facility to return all types of POI.

val poiProvider = NominatimPOIProvider("OSMBonusPackTutoUserAgent")
val pois = poiProvider.getPOICloseTo( GeoPoint( geoPoint ), "cinema", 10, 0.1 )

If there is a way to avoid making one call per POI type I would like to know it !

Thanks in advance, have a nice day

Answer 1

I don't think you can do that with Nominatim service. You can dig in Nominatim API doc (having a look at Special Phrases).

Alternative: move to OverpassAPIProvider. A little bit complex, but super-powerful. I'm quite sure it will match your need.
