title: Google Search api for Android systems
body: <p>I'm trying to build an android app that would do a local search on google.</p>
  
  <p>I know there is a <a href="http://code.google.com/p/gsearch-java-client/" rel="noreferrer">Google Search API for Java</a>, and I am able to use it for a desktop application. However, when I use the same jar file (gsearch.jar) in my android project, Some problems arise.</p>
  
  <p>When I call the .localSearch() method of my gsearch.Client object, a runtime error is occurring. The error message is: "java.lang.VerifyError: gsearch.Client". This message is occurring in the Dalvik Debug Monitor log.</p>
  
  <p>So what is the problem here? Can I not use the search API on the android? </p>
  
  <p>More importantly, how do I do a local search from an android app? Does the android sdk have search APIs inbuilt? I could only find the Maps api, and Map search is not what I'm looking for..</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help,</p>
