Best solution I found was to save the default center point as String resource so it can be "translated" if the app is localized. That's it for now..
Android MapView (google maps) v1 focus by Locale or country name

Question
when you go to Google maps in the browser you can type a country name and the map focuses on that country. Is it possible to get this on a MapView? I'd like my MapView to initially focus on user's country if a location is not available.
EDIT: here's what I have so far:
private MapView mvClear;
private MyLocationOverlay compass;
private MapController controller;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_clear_map);
mvClear = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mvClear);
mvClear.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
TouchOverlay touchOverlay = new TouchOverlay();
List<Overlay> overlays = mvClear.getOverlays();
overlays.add(touchOverlay);
compass = new MyLocationOverlay(this, mvClear);
overlays.add(compass);
controller = mvClear.getController();
controller.setZoom(8);
Geocoder coder = new Geocoder(this);
try {
List<Address> address = coder.getFromLocationName(Locale.getDefault().getCountry(), 1);
int lat = (int) address.get(0).getLatitude();
int lon = (int) address.get(0).getLongitude();
GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(lat, lon);
controller.setCenter(point);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
No focus.
